NVM. Bid was at $102.50, which was good, but I hammered up to 140 and it wouldn't budge. Here is the eBay link if anyone else wants to take a shot at it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1834-Half-D...item19cc252101&autorefresh=true#ht_500wt_1287
What is your take on this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/36042285080...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_500wt_1054
I bought the 1832. Figure that if it is a EF-40, it's worth around $150. Guy has a 7 day return policy, so I will have have time to take pics and make sure it's the real deal (which I'm pretty sure it is). Even if it has been cleaned, it's still half price of EF-40 in the redbook. The slabbed half I originally purchased, the seller said "he lost it, could of been stolen". Oh well, I think this was a better buy anyway.
From the ebay postings, I'd go with the 1832 because it doesn't have that harsh of cleaning. Pretty harsh on the 1834. Good deal buying it though! :thumb:
I like the 1832 the best :thumb: I have one, but I am always watching for others because that is the year that my Great Great Grandfather was born.
Glad you didn't go for the first one... It's been cleaned. Second one you posted looks fairly original. :thumb: -Brian
Naaahh, it's among the most common of dates for the series. The majority of the population (certified) is around that grade as well. Besides, if it comes back body bagged, which there's still a good chance it may, you'd have wasted $20-$25, or whatever the PCGS submission fees are nowadays. Keep it raw. -Brian
I don't use pcgs, it would be NGC, which slabs them, but it may say details. However if I take upclose pics one might be able to tell.
Well, whomever you submit your coins through, I don't recommend sending in this CBH. Chances are good that it'd get the body bag. After further inspection of the coin, it looks like the reverse may have been cleaned at some point throughout the coin's extensive life. In the end, do what you please. Just proceed with caution. Have your coin appraised localy. Get more in-hand opinions. -Brian
I don't like such a harshly cleaned coin that would not grade if submitted....but isn't even valuable enough to slab. A big pass from me, unless it was like $20.
Are you wanting to get it graded to increase the value or just preserving it for your collection. It's all about how you feel & want for this coin. My thread about my 1832 collection >>>> http://www.cointalk.com/t194866/#post1300366
I agree with the others the 1832 is the better coin. I think the 1832 has been cleaned and is retoning - just not as bad as the 1834. As for preserving - you can get an airtite or other type slab your self.
