    1808 Bust Half Dollar -- Grade Opinions

    Here is another half I picked up recently. Not a high grade coin F-15 at best, but a variety (0-106A, R-2 maybe 3) which was needed and she fell within the price range ($100 or <) and now finds herself in the BCBHD Collection. I wonder who's thumbprint that is on the reverse, maybe John Adams or Andy (By God) Jackson, LOL... The die cracks on the near the cap ID it. What grade would you put ont he flip if it was yours?

    Take Care

    A few things to remember, Certification and Attribution are Absolute and Definitive. Grading, on the other hand IS NOT. STRIKE is everything, be it strong or weak. Click here to enlarge

    If all the old fellas at the auction knew you were the reason I was running up the Bust Halves, they'd have you lynched.

    Ben:
    That is one butt ugly coin.
    better to send it to me for destruction.

    Anyway still a nice Fine. (Unless you want to send it to me.)
