Aside from the cleaning, it looks pretty nice. EDIT] I see it's been bid up to $93 on eBay. Even in low AU grade, these are around $280. Is it worth $93 to you?
The "burn spots" are toning. Silver reacts with oxygen, sulfur and other chemicals in the air. That changes its color. In a way, it is chemically similar to "burning." It does not (usually) detract from the value of a coin.
IMO I would save the money to purchase a problem-free example. You can get some VF-XF examples on ebay for less than $90, and some raw XF-AU later date Bust Halves for $150 or less.
okay thank u guys, I appreciate your expertise as far as the poll in have no clue what ur talking about sorry Frank the other one
yeah, I saw that BUCIRCULATED so in a rush I bought this probably should have waited until tonite but I got this one I screwed up again oh well.. I HAVE NO PATIENTS NEVER HAVE
Why rush? Capped Bust half dollars are common coins that are readily available in nearly all grades, both raw and certified. Take your time and buy a nice coin you won't regret later.
Listen to Tom B...he knows his stuff. Just looking on ebay, there are thousands of Capped Bust Halves, and all it takes is a little time and patience for you to find one that meets your needs and that you could win with a well-timed bid.
