Weekend Rainbow Capped Bust Half - 1835 Edition (again)

Well, its another weekend. So here's another rainbow toned Capped Bust Half! (I can't keep this up forever, just a few more left to get caught up).

Guess the Grade! Guess the Overton! I've provided 3 sets of pictures - one from PCGS, one from the dealer, and one from me.

Very tough coin to grade from pix.

I see the obv as XF40. However, the rev I see as AU55.

I'll give the net grade as AU50.

 

AU53

 

AU50

I attempted the Overton but ran out of time

Edit: I'm going with O-104

 

53 Pretty coin.

 

I want to say 53, But I think that PCGS gave it a 50.

 

104 is correct.

 

Yes, O-104 is what I have it as.

Any more guesses on the grade? Nobody has guessed what PCGS called it, yet (whether they are right or wrong is another question, I suppose).

 

I'll change my vote to 55.

 

Better keep this thread going till Sunday evening. I don't think enough people have seen the thread.

 

Haha, that might be true. At least, nobody has guessed what PCGS called it

 

Vf 38

 

38?

 

Can you break down the surfaces, and die characteristics along with your grade when you give the reveal?
I think that the dies and strike is playing a lot into this grade.

Hey Cheech, I think you were a few key strikes off?

 

AU-55. The reverse looks to be Mint State, but the obverse accounts for most of the grade.

 

Well, ok guys. Time to wrap this one up. PCGS called it AU-58.

In hand, I think that's a bit generous, and I'd agree with the 53-55 crowd. A 58 should not have noticeable flattening of the high points.

This coin has great fields, luster across the fields with minor interruptions, and incredible color.
