Here are some quick iPhone photos. The scratches on the 2nd image are on the slab not the coin.
I love this look. It was listed on eBay for $875, but I bought it for $675 from seller "CrazyForColor".

Great phone pix, and boy, that one sure has the WOW factor!!!

I'm not accustomed to competing over toned coins, so am not totally up to speed on all the pricing trends, but on a basic, gut instinct level, that sounds like a really nice buy to me.

rev?

Looks like a beauty from those shots!

Price seems quite reasonable to me.

Nice coin. With 2 stars and a crown to boot!

Very nice, WL. I've wondered about that seller's coins. One is in the mail to me right now, and I'm curious if it has all the color described.

The early-to-mid 1830's halves can sometimes be found with spectacular toning. You've seen Ankur's 1831, of course. I have a '32 small letters and a '34 large date, small letters you would appreciate.

Nice colors. How's the reverse?

That is nice! Great purchase!!

I can't bring myself to buy coins from that seller.

WingedLiberty1957 · February 22, 2013 7:57AM

Reverse not as colorful as obverse, a bit darker and splotchier ...
(Lance, post your 1832!)

That's a beauty for sure!

Congrats on a nice Bust Half

I know what you mean. I bought a Morgan target toner over a year ago from this seller. I am happy with the color and it is a nice coin. The seller's pics were a bit more flattering than the coin in hand, but most glamour shots we have taken are anyway.

Looks like a beauty, WL. Now you have to get it in a proper holder.

Here's my '32.

Love it Lance!

Looks mighty nice! Congrats!

Nice one WL....a real looker!

I like the dealer and have bought many a toner from him, traded a few too.

SeattleSlammer · February 22, 2013 11:25AM

The seller is nice and wants his buyers to be happy. I bought this one from him last year and his pic is accurate.
