Well ...
It is crusty and original
and it is from the 19th Century
and it is a Half Dollar
but that ain't no Capped Bust
Liberty, sitting on a rock, with an Eagle on the reverse in full eclipse of the sun ... absolutely a look I adore

I can understand why.....O R I G I N A L
Nice original crusty looking A&R Half. XF45?
I have zero problems with that coin. What a looker! Congrats!
Gotta love the 53 arrows and rays! Nice original coin.
Nice original skin!

Excellent look!

Oh yeah, love the rays!

Great original coin!
Isn't it sad how many Liberty Seated Halves have been ruined by dipping or cleaning.
I like your 'full eclipse of the sun' description.
Yours is a nice example. I'd guess a grade of 53.
Congratulations.
ORIGINAL.
Great coin Todd - congrats!
Isn't it refreshing to wander off, once in a while?
I find myself doing it more and MORE.
The coin is wonderful and the Arrows with Rays is one of my favorite types!
Thumbs up!!

Very nice and a great type coin to own!

How could you pass, very nice pick up!
Nice!

Thank you for all the comments. As far as the pictures go, I still need to get my lighting dialed in (I think I took a couple steps backwards but have some things incoming), but it's relatively close to in-hand.
She's an AU55 if anyone was wondering, and is a near perfect match to a few others I have.

Good God there's nothing wrong with that
That is a real nice looking coin!
Little dark for market preferences but I like it too. Au53 or 55 depending on if any luster comes through.

That is a very nice coin.... One which, if I saw it at a show, would stop me for a while, and maybe even leave with me. (Sounds like an evening at the bar
).... Cheers, RickO
Darn...more competition...thats a nice SLH.

Great to see that no one gave it a bath over the years. REALLY like those original surfaces and the strike is exceptional imo. Super nice coin. You did very well!
There's a lot to be said for tarnished women.
I don't know how I missed this the first time around, but that looks like an absolutely wonderful AU coin.

I love it! Great look.
I'm getting old. I clicked like and your count when down by one.
I bumped your count back up one. Nice hunk o' silver!

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......
I enjoy unmolested circulated type coins, especially as nice as this one. Find them just below the grade someone is tempted to mess with them to turn a quick buck.
