My recent 1837 RE CBH PCGS MS63 win through HA is a real looker and a keeper. What is your keeper?

I don’t think I’ve ever won a more eye appealing CBH.
I paid a bit over Price Guide but didn't care at all.
I’ve already had several offers to buy her, but this lady isn’t leaving the house.
Do you have a special coin that you will always own and never sell?

BTW, I'm very happy with the TrueView image.
I'm thinking the photographer knew he had a colorful specimen and wanted to get a great image.


MS63

Heritage Description:

1837 GR-21 Reeded Edge Half
Lustrous MS63
Condition Census

1837 50C GR-21, R.2, MS63 PCGS. Vibrant iridescent toning encompasses both sides of this Select Uncirculated example. Orange and gold shades occupy the borders, while blue and violet hues enrich the centers of this lustrous and frosted, minimally marked Reeded Edge half. A large die lump in the reverse field below O in OF helps confirm the GR-21 attribution. The central devices are quite sharp, although signs of die fatigue are visible at the highest points and at the outer margins. The eye appeal is exceptional.
Ex: The R. Thayer Sheets Yorktown Collection (Heritage, 4/2017), lot 15498; Liberty Rare Coins (4/16/2017).
From The Towers Collection, Part II.

    Super sweet.
    The Heritage photos do your coin (and the consigner?) an injustice.

    Beautiful! I wonder if the HA photos had an impact on price. Super win!

    Very nice coin, at $3,840.00.

    Great coin.

    I certainly don't know the series, especially in MS grades, but looking at the coin, I immediately think it's undergraded.

    Hard to nail down one single keeper, but my ‘99 cent is certainly in the running. Yes it’s well worn, but it’s original and free of issues, and I can only imagine it’s history. Such a storied and rare coin, especially nice. Hard to replace.

    That is fabulous original brown Gem Circ 1799 cent!

    Thank you! When it came up I stretched for it, but never regretted it. I love the Mickley legend regarding the 1799s. To me it’s only rivaled by the Chain.
    This is the only stickered ‘99 in VG8…
