    Nice!

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

    Thanks. Here's an updated view with a recent upgrade for the half dollar.

    Maybe not a Rockstar, but certainly an opening band.

    Thanks. Its taken forever to find all of them to make a matching appearance set.
    The half was the last one i wasnt 100% happy with, and was thrilled to finally find one i love. When i started collecting i didnt really like the barber design until i saw a gorgeous high grade cameo proof barber...just had to have it.

    One more - common date with uncommon quality. Imo, looks better than the assigned grade (MS64).


    I think I may now own the same coin.

    I like your 1899-O and your 1892. B)o:)

    The 1901-O deserves honorable mention. <3

    Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

    1901-0 MS-66 JA Stack

    1899-o Ms-66+ Shireman/Hugon

    The 1892 is really the star of the show here, great color and a MONSTER grade.

    @FlyingAl Fantastic photo of a fantastic coin! PS, If any one is wondering what a half dollar from 1905 looks like, that has never been cleaned, dipped, or messed with....This would be it.
