30

 

Looks like O-103, R2, courtesy of Overton. I voted VF30 but if it got an up-bump to 35 or XF because it’s so nice, I wouldn’t complain. Hope it’s yours; if it’s not, quick, buy it!

 

PCGS tends to be generous with early Bust halves, that’s why I voted VF30. I can’t see all the details as the coin is pretty dark, but I’d say it’s O-103 EDS.

 

O-103, VF30.

 

Nice all, I got 103 as well. The guide says that if there is a die crack present from the D in the UNITED through the S and T it’s 103a R3- it does have that die crack but the example they pictured for the LDS has all the milling worn off.

 

I think we'll find that PCGS gave this a 35 a minimum, and likely a 40, which was my vote. Strike must be considered on these early dates.

 

VF 30 possible VF35 at a TPG. O103

 

Yes, the weak strike absolutely has to be considered, but they still overgrade them. Look at Liberty’s face and hair, that’s not an XF in my book...

 

Looks like a VF30 I own only much prettier toning

 

Note that the poll is for the PCGS grade. The Tom grade would be VF-30.

 

Will reveal this evening if anyone else wants to guess on this one. @C-B-D @TypeCoin971793 @Mainebill @physics-fan3.14 @Randy Abercrombie

 

I'll jump in on a VF-35 with absolutely gorgeous toning

 

I’m bouncing between 30 and 35.

 

30

 

I said 45 but I love the coin.

 

Ha, I had a reply all typed up last night but forgot to press "post."

I agree with everyone saying 30. There is too much wear for a higher grade, and I'm not seeing enough luster for anything higher. That color is spectacular though, and this is clearly worth far more than a typical 30.

That should definitely get a star if sent to NGC.

 

Thanks for playing all



The luster cartwheels on both sides, I really like this coin- an 1811 I have here that also has unusually strong cartwheel luster in VF made for a fun comparison coin.

 

Interestingly the 1811 appears to be an O-103 too (O-103a R3 to be more precise).
