This coin is beautiful. I'm sitting here typing hoping you love yor coin as much as I love your coin. AU 58? I think the reverse is a better than the observe for grading purposes.

 

I'll go with 53 but the old cleaning may hold it back from a straight grade. It has lost most of it's luster.

 

XF details, cleaned. Nice coin all in all!

 

I agree. XF. Not sure if it is details. Maybe once it gets some darkening, it will be more acceptable but until then I think it hasn't retoned enough yet.
Also has not retained enough luster for AU. Very nice coin, a solid representation of the type

 

I could be wrong though. I thought the raw half you sent me would have more hairlines but upon opening it, was pleasantly surprised.

So, maybe it's the image. I am generally confident with the XF grade though.

 

Except for a few nicks and being cleaned I am at a low AU. Nice coin.

 

Im in the high xf low au it has a nice strike , the price jumps quite a bit...for what I have in it im quite pleased. Evan yes digital photos are at times a double edge sword....one shows everything..the next has artifacts that one isnt 100% sure of what your seeing.

 

I believe it probably looks better in hand. Thanks for sharing it

 

Both of those two halves were nice honest grades the vf 30 nice circ cam as well the edge toning.

 

AU-53 on a good day.

 

I have an 1833 and its dark and the detail is au or better however ...right in front of her eyes 3 very old short scratches. But I love the coin .... when I picture a CBH this one is the poster child. LoL

 

Agreed, this one is very attractive, both for its lack of wear and the fact its a CBH!

 

Nice coin but I'm far from an expert with this series.
My thought XF as a net straight grade.

 

XF, maybe just makes AU but details.

 

This one I knew was definitely AU...details...a good teaching aid as I wanted to see if anyone caught the "J" on her clasp? Definitely a clue to grade and a nice strike. Even in detail grade I knew she had promise...showing a sweet strike she has....

Betcha some never knew about the J
