What grade did PCGS give it?? Does it look recently dipped?? What is/causes the small spotting on the coin?? Your comments appreciated !!

PCGS graded it MS-64 !!!

Recently? No.

Dipped ,badly washed free of dip and then retoned NT.

You would probably have a MS-63 coin.

I agree with bear that it's been dipped and retoned. The spotting appears to come from the original toning and not from a bad rinse though. MS62 is the grade I would say it is although it looks nicer. mike

MS63

IMHO, It looks like it may have been dipped, but quite a while ago. Still--a very nice coin. MS64, maybe 63?

Casey · April 13, 2004 8:06AM

I too will guess MS63.

Dave99B · April 13, 2004 8:28AM

62.5

TTT for the evening crowd !!

I'm simply amazed at some of the comments in this thread. I know where this coin came from, and that seller's pictures are always washed out. This coin is original in my opinion, that toning is way too deep into the rims to have occurred after only a few years.

MFH · April 13, 2004 11:03AM

I agree with K6AZ. The rim toning is too original to be a dipped out coin, its a solid 63 IMO.

Beautiful coin!!! Once again I'm looking for the "green with envy" emotion icon!!!

RedneckHB · April 13, 2004 11:15AM

62

The strike is excellent and I like the toning. I wonder how severe the hairlines are which run horizontally across Miss Liberty's face. You can barely see them in the lighting provided with the image.
I don't see a lot of contact marks, which is unusual for an Unc. Barber Half.

The odd markings on the obverse look a bit like "milk spots" I've seen on some Peace $s. I've never seen them on Barber Halves before. I can only guess they are residue of some sort. If they are not really ugly, this can be better than an MS 63. Most Barber Halves in 3 are nasty coins, INO.

It is so hard to grade a coin from such images, but I know it is always done for fun. My guess is MS64 or MS 63.

my3cents · April 13, 2004 1:27PM

MS 61 or maybe 62

KlectorKid · April 13, 2004 2:26PM

I'll call it MS-63 dipped or not I like this coin. Nice and bright with some rim toning for charactor.

Sandhawk · April 13, 2004 3:11PM

PCGS Graded it MS-64

ER · April 13, 2004 3:32PM

dorkkarl · April 13, 2004 9:38PM
