You don't have to "Force" out the posts Mate.
PM me your address and I'll send you the coin when I get back from Kalgoorlie :ok:

Stevo, your half has a little weakness in the lettering, will it have enough to get past MS64?
Keep us up to date with the result.
OP. Are you going to slab that gem?

I agree with nealeffendi it does have a little bit of weakness on the bust (breaks in the line above the diamonds), hair looks a little indistinct to me (maybe it is just the lighting or the photo) otherwise a great coin tho I would have to place a 99.99% chance that it gets MS63-64 at PCGS. However NGC wise it would be a MS64 at least with a small chance of MS65.
