One Small Step Forward with a Bust Half Dollar from the ANA
I thought I might share a coin I fell in love with at the ANA. After careful evaluation, technical assesment with a loop and deciding she had show-stopper eye appeal at arms length, I thought it was one of the best technical superb gem halves I've seen. Especially for the 1807 to 1822 period. Required quite a stretch to land her. PCGS agreed to add a cherry on top with a plus sign. So now the Finest Known 1822 half as PCGS MS67+ CAC Pop 1/0 and the fourth 67+ ever graded amongst any year of the Capped Bust Half series. It's getting really tough out there, this was only the second upgrade to my date set this year. 
And a thanks to Bill Shamhardt for the opportunity.

It just blows my mind that a coin could survive essentially unblemished since 1822. Just think of everything that has happened since then!

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......0 -
Yes, I saw that coin in hand at the show. What a wonderful coin. One of the best I have ever seen! Congrats.

Great coin. I know this has already been posted, do you know the provenance of the coin. It is just amazing that the coin remained in that condition for almost 200 years. I would love to see that coin in hand. Congratulations!

How can you even put a price on that coin? It's mind boggling.
Here is a link to the full-size image. Keep in mind that photos of coins -- especially truly spectacular ones, are rarely as nice as the coins in hand.

Lance.edit: At the 2016 ANA show I was excited to buy the ex-Eliasberg, ex-Link 1822 O.106 in AU58. I love it and would share it here but it would be out of place.
