    Now hear this, now hear this - stand by for rants, harangues, and ad-hominem onslaughts. That is all.

    Nice, but what does the brick refer to?

    Looks like a very nice accurately graded coin in a superior holder.

    This one will get cracked eventually. I'm putting together a more low key set in a Dansco.

    Ha! I just assumed you were referencing Witter Brick. But then again, that would have been indicated on the label if that was the case. Nice coin!

    The Witter Brick irony isn't lost. B)

    I agree, it does look in quality for the grade like something Witter Brick would have. Too dark for my taste in 45, probably subdued luster, and an ugly black spot on the obverse. Agree with you on Witter Brick.

    I thought for sure this was Witter thing.
    You got me! Nice coin too!

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

    It's a nice coin overall but it did strike me that if it was in a PCGS holder, it wouldn't sticker.

    I like it a lot. Congrats.

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

    That would sticker as a XF45. It's a choice looking coin, IMO.

    Looks very cackable to me, JA doesn’t really mind spots all that much. Great detail, great originality, and solid for the grade imo.
