PCGS Designation: 9873

Certificate: 81968745

Grade: MS65

Obverse Die:  Normal Die

Reverse Die:  Normal Die

Stars: 13/31

Notes:  The interesting thing about this coin is the lack of features.  There appear to be no die cracks on either side and no die doubling.  Both of these conditions are rare for the Stone Mountain Half.

The only thing of note is that there is a little color on the surfaces, primarily on the obverse.  This is also unusual as we often see more discoloration and not color from poor storage conditions.  We would place this toning in the second cycle with oranges, reds, and some blue-green.  These isn't a lot of color, but where it exists this pattern seems to prevail.

The reverse is not particularly well struck for this grade.  There are only 31 of the stars showing and many of these are weak representatives.
