    Here is an 1823 CBH which I purchased on the 25th but don't have in hand yet, currently patiently waiting on the seller to just get it in the mail. Enough on that...

    What are your opinions/comments on the coin. I know the pics are iffy but they're the best I can get with what is available.

    Okay - vf 30, maybe XF if it was mine and I am going to try O-108. O-108 because the 23 larger than 1, large stars and left side of T in line with right side of I. I will post my new ones later.

    Solid xf, perhaps lightly cleaned like most busties. :hatch:

    No problem - I always have an opinion. Don't forget to come back and let me know what variety it is - I need to see if and where I went wrong. The same for the 1827.

    Thank you all for the comments. Here is the coin with pictures just taken. IMHO (great hair and wing detail) it's in the EF-40/XF-45 range. The coin cost $100 and just a few years ago two maybe three coins in this condition could be had fort the same amount.

    I think Xf40 also - your pictures show the details better. Was I right on the attribution? Based off trying to save the picture I see 108 at the end. Don't leave me in suspense....:)
