I am thinking it could go either way myself, the originality of the coin, It still has a lot of luster that is a little muted because of the skin. Thanks for all the help and some books on CBH's.
There's some flatness on her but some of that is just spotty and not altogether wear, from how I'm seeing her. As low as AU50, as high as AU55. She really is a pretty one, too, I agree, I'm liking her a lot. Beautiful coin, take good care of her.
I picked up a later die state 1814 0-103 I was wondering if someone had an online guide to attributing Bust halves. Overton and rarity scale.
Looks AU to me. toning will hide luster, so I can't be any more specific. A coin I would be proud to own.
