William & Mary, 1/2 Crown 1689, 1st shield, in PCGS slab as "Repaired-VF detail;" I cannot detect any repair, possibly slight smoothing?? But though this is what everybody grades VF nowadays, my 20th century grade is F-VF; it is nicely toned, bold & attractive. Note: Poor photo, through plastic. (A GF brought $285, Downie 2/04; VF $750, Spink 6/08.)
