1827 Capped Bust Half, O-146

Here is the one I picked up. It's a HTF (Curl 2 Base) 1827 in VF-20 (I'd say) shape in the 2nd photo. The top is a regular 1827 with a square base 2. What do you think?

Sir, thanks for taking a look

Ben ,
Is the reverse on the 2nd coin rotated?

 

No, I was just lazy taking the picture I do have an 1857 Seated Half slabbed by ANACS which is rotated though. Let me find it, hang on.

 

[QUOTE= What do you think?

I think it must be a real satisfaction to own such a good-looking coin with an 1827 date. My oldest coin (Morgan) is only 1883. Congratulations.--gunsmoke

 

Drats I don't have a picture loaded on our server. Here it is w/o cropping and combining them.

Ben,
I think both coins are a vf-20.

 

Thanks Big Z, I know I give the TPG companies crap, but your keen eye is going to make you famous one day. Keep it up and you'll be the best there is

Thanks
Ben

 

Ben is there a big value difference in that coin because of the rotation ?

 

From what I've been told there is really not a premium unless it's 90 degrees or more, course those were dealers telling me that information and I was offered PCGS money for it Now that was about three years ago.

 

BEN,
Here is a site that Jody gave me on rotated dies go here

 

Hey Thanks. That's interesting, it's not listed. The rotation is about 45 degrees though.

I think the last I heard was that there was no value untill it was rotated 15o.....and if yours isn't listed on the site maybe you can send in photos and get it listed---maybe it would turn your coin into a "plate" coin!!!

Bone, I think you have a nice pair there both variety and grade wise.

 

Thanks buddy, hearing that from you makes me feel pretty honored :thumb: You do know your Capped Bust coinage.

Thanks Again for the look-see
Ben
