I get excited by eye appealing Civil War dated coins.

Pictured below are my two half dollar NEWPS. Both are AU55's.

    Very nice newps, I have recently caught myself staring too long at some seated coinage.

    I missed them, but talked the original BST buyer into selling me these two.

    They both have their fine attributes. One would be nice, more than likely the 1863 if I had to choose.

    Nice acquisitions! image

    NOTE: The 1862 (32548219) in between these two was considered damaged.

    Nothing wrong with either one of those, nice coins! Now you need to find a '62, '64 and a '65 that look just like these. Look forward to seeing your post on those in 2017! image

    Already have the 1862.
    Hope I can get the 1864 and 1865 before 2017!!!

    RickO,
    Where are you from? I, myself, am a proud southerner living in Birmingham, AL.

    Both are very nice pieces but that 1861 looks like an undergrade to me.

    I can certainly agree that the 1861 is undergraded. There is a touch less wear on the breast area in comparison to the 1863.

    But I truly appreciate them both!!

    I plan to send to CAC.

    Is a gold sticker as good as an upgrade?

    Both are very nice!
