Hi coin enthusiasts,

this Capped Bust comes fresh from NGC.
Feel free to guess the grade and determine the Overton variety.

Thanks for playing and good luck.

40

 

O-105 R-2

Usual no milling.

I'd estimate a 45.

If a 50, ties for Condition census

 

Lack of luster might hold it back to a 40, but I'll still say 45.

 

Textbook XF-40. O-105 variety

 

XF40.

 

Treashunt shot it with the Overton variety...
Yes, it's a 105. Congs.

But nobody graded it correct.
It' s a straight grade

 

@TypeCoin971793

You are correct too with the Overton variety.

 

So on behalf of everyone, half will guess AU50, half will guess you stole it as a VF35 (or got screwed by NGC).

 

40

 

Or that the slab is fake

 

The coin is much nicer on hand and shows a generous quotient of luster, which is invisible on the picture.

 

(Late die state) AU-50
Edit: ...as evidenced by flow lines at stars.

 

VF 35 not. EF

 

Based on the pic I would call it a 45 and wouldn't be suprised to see 50 if the supporting luster is there.

 

VF30

 

Can’t recall when I have been more interested in a GTG reveal! We have apparently covered the full range of grade guesses, VF-30 to AU-50.

 

53 for me because no one guessed it yet.

 

If the luster is there, I could see the slab saying AU 50.
From the picture, I didn't think it was there and was going to say VF 35.

 

There are a few bust halves out there with plus grades though....
