Nice CBH! Is that a raw coin?

I am in the market for a colorfully-toned CBH PCGS or NGC graded AU or higher.
They're impossible to find.

The coin has a lot of color, unfortunately it is covered with a large plastic reflector making it almost impossible to get a clear, colorful image without a blinding glare spot. It is in a PCGS AU53 holder.

Here are the original sellers images. I couldn't duplicate the color, but managed to make the slab look fairly invisible.

 

Beautiful half, I like your photos better than the seller's.

Nice coins on this thread lately; I can't keep up with it!

 

Here's a cool one I grabbed recently... Old Man Feuchtwanger rides again !!!

 

Nice !!!!!

 

Nice pick up Ricky. Also that is a 1812 bustie is a beauty.

 

Difficult, but not impossible. Be patient. And when the right one comes along don't hesitate to pay a premium. It will come back to you.

I bought this 1834 on ebay a couple of years ago. Nothing tough about the variety. But it has splendid eye appeal.

The 1823 came from David Lawrence a few years ago. Another high AU but it has the most amazing cartwheel luster and stunning color.
Lance.

 

MY GOD! That thing is quite the color wheel!

 

lkeigwin - those are two beauties for sure.

 

:bow::bow:Wow some very nice cents to Bust half's!!!:thumb:
:kewl:

 

Those are stunning CBH's!
It's an impossible find in today's market, but will keep my radar up.

 

Those images are seriously juiced. The telltale sign is the normally grey with a sight purple tinge holder is blue. Typical of saturation enhancement.

 

p.s. very nice coin, BTW.

 

I bought this PCGS MS63 $5 Liberty Head gold coin recently. I liked the "less messed with" surfaces that show that tangerine/gold color with a nice bit of color variation. So many gold coins have been dipped to a more uniform single color. The color variation makes this coin more interesting in my opinion. This is still a darn nice design. Got a great deal on it too (bought it for 80% of the PCGS price guide price).

 

kewl one cent ... what is that ... a pattern?

 

picked a pair of franklins sun. an 1958-P ANACSMS-65 and 1955-P PCGSMS-64 for 60$$...cant post pics for now though...

 

Oh, you tease! Can't wait to see them.

 

That explains why I wasn't able to duplicate it, Mike. There is definitely some color on the coin, but with it being inside the holder, the glare was just too much to over come. Maybe a TrueView is in order.

 

1858 Canada one cent.. got it for a mere 100.00
