I would give it MS 63+. But I'm not good at grading.

Either I am not good at grading, or someone else is not. Still, I trust others in the statistical long run.

Congratulations. Real "Old School" detective work.

I'd guess North of $450 for a Half Eagle.

Congratulations John. Your accomplishments inspire me to work a little harder. This is not just another participation trophy.

I am convinced I was mistaken and the correct attribution is VAM-23A (as everyone but me seemed to know.) When going down the list of options, I thought the mint mark on the VAM-23A was not far enough to the left and thus got off the correct path. The date is worn to the point that it may not be hel...

I'm not above anyone's pay grade, just ask my previous employers. I think we'll get it figured out. Thanks.

Great photos.

Also from HA. VAM30B.

Congratulations John. Your achievements are an inspiration.

A simple thank you seems inadequate, but I thank you.

Always good to keep treasures in the family.
