I picked this up last weekend because it has a look and I like old PCGS slabs... I was told this 2.1 version with the PCGS printed up top is pretty scarce but I haven't gone back to look at that slab generations thread to confirm.

    Neat holder, for sure. Looks pretty obv. beat for a 63. Weak strike too.

    I dig the holder but only really care about what's inside. The 50c has eye appeal.

    With a reasonable level of patience, this is a date that can be found in an attractive state. 63 is a fair grade and the coin is attractive, but it is just not registering with me as being in the wow range.

    Saw this coin in person last weekend, more luster than the pics show…not a great strike but a very scarce holder!

    Definetly a nice coin!

    As an aside-
    I just bought my second short set. Should be here any day now. I am really hoping they are nice. They looked okay from the images but I will not know until they show up.

    Nice luster and toning.

    Great pickup, nice coin in a seldom seen slab.

    Meltdown knows walkers!

    While it does not appear to be a solid CAC candidate, you still have to really like this very attractively super lustrous 1946-S 50c coin, i love it when these coins are weakly struck as it shows how worn down the die can get. Getting the OGH PCGS slab is a bonus.

    What are those dark areas on it? Black tarnish?

    Nope don’t think it will sticker.

    This is a PCGS Gen 2.1A holder. Yes, one of the scarce, not often seen Gen 2.1 versions. Nice find.

    I’d take it. I agree that it wouldn’t CAC, because the marks and the very weak strike, but she’s still a looker! And the holder is great!
