    OK, I watched the Heritage Auction thoroughly and probably need help in posting pics, etc. but here is what I saw: - Saturday auction saw (Lot 30849) 1845 Halfcrown in PCGS63 sell for 1527 USD - Today saw (Lot 32651) 1845 Halfcrown in NGC62 sell for 1057 USD My commentary is that I looked at these two lots on HA site and noted that the first had original somewhat ugly toning and was not fully struck on obverse or reverse, with the hair and brow line weak and marks to sensitive area such as NOSE! The second coin was probably dipped at one point, lustre OK with MUCH better strike in these sensitive areas without as much crucial area marks. I believe that the second represented a better buy if such can be said, although with the recent runup of many coin prices it is hard to determine what is fair and what is not. Proof gold of the 19th through mid-20th C. is off the charts as far as price increases, I think it was the 1826 ?? proof set that went for 280 K USD and the 1893 for above 65k! Yikes. Anyway, buyer beware and shop the actual coin and not the slab as has been said many times on these boards.
