1824 O.106 Capped Bust Half Dollar - Guess the Grade...

Not much to do tonight, so let's play some good old fashion "Guess the Grade".

Here's a newp of mine. Can't say I entirely agree with the grade PCGS assigned, but I'd like to hear what you all think.

I don't purchase from D. Lawrence too often, but I must say his images (scans) are superb as far as color accuracy goes. :thumb:

Anyways, have at it, guys and gals!

I'm gonna pretend I didn't see the grade.. lol
I'd say it looks like a solid vf-35

 

Looks like a 35 in a 30 holder to me as well.

 

drat! The BIN listing wasn't live that long, was it?!

shhh...

 

Y'all browse eBay in the PM too much, don't ya?

 

It's part of the numerical number on the slab...XXXX.XX/XXXXXX

 

edit your post, Log. Problem resolved.

I goofed.

 

I didn't see the listing you posted it in the images

 

whelp, there goes my entertainment for the evening...

at least tell me y'all like the gosh-darn coin?! Make me feel good about myself...

 

When I first looked at the coin I said 40 details but in a 35 holder because PCGS hates dark coins.

 

Still a beautiful example. I like the dark patina personally

 

Wow, that means a lot coming from you... Your theory about the surface color makes sense, though.

and thanks, cciesielski!

 

I love the look of that one, I would have called it a VF-35 all day.

 

haha, funny you say that - the title I gave the images on Photobucket was "VF35alldaymaybeXF40".

 

You know what they say about great minds...

 

hehe very nice would love one that nice for my type set

 

I'm glad you could actually buy something from him. Before I bought my CBH at teletrade, I tried for a week to sign up there with no luck, always a technical error.

Anyhoo, according to PCGS photo grade, I would say XF-40.

 

Yup, they're hard to find!

And nice cir-cam capped bust Brian, I have a few that look similar to that.

 

Thanks!...

and please feel free to share these "similar" Bust halves!! :yes:I'm a sucker for original CBHs, in case you didn't know.

Lord knows I don't hide it...

 

If I didn't see it was a 35 I'd of said a XF -40 , that's a beautiful 35 , nice pick up .
