E 1,

I don’t know a whole lot about grading, but comparing the ’24-S DE to the 1856 Half below it (PR65), even I wonder how the DE wound up with a grade that high. The 1924 almost looks circulated across the top half of the coin.

I’ve never seen one that weakly struck before.

Some great examples of scarcities and rarities that were engineered by the USM.
