1850 Half Dime for grading

I was thinking AU-53/55. What thinketh thou?

Sorry about the pictures. My iPad does not like anything smaller than a dime. Color is accurate to in-hand.



Brighter light to show the luster.

AU55 sounds right

 

Valentine # 4 obv. Date close to base ,The 1 almost touches..Rev. rather slender lettering. Au. cleaned.

 

I'll go with 53. Not seeing must luster.

 

I can help you with this. This one is a little tricky cause of the pic but I would say you are a 45 on the way low side and high side a 58. It looks a little bit like it has been cleaned tho but I can be sure

 

So what you're saying is... You don't know if it's XF or AU and you don't know if it's been cleaned. Thanks for your help, Ed.

 

MS 45?

 

hahah lol sorry about that typo

 

Well that just explains everything

 

I really can't tell the luster from those pics. I'd guess a 53 from them. 50 is there's not much luster

 

AU55.

 

Edit

 

I can help you with this. My opinion is that it grades higher than XF-49 and lower than AU-51.

 

45-50 IMO

 

I can't get a good read on the lustre but details wise I think 55 is deserved.

 

53-55 i.m.o
Better than average and nice surface.

 

You really pinned it down EW.

 

@TypeCoin971793 What's going on with the denticles from 10 to 2 on the rev?

 

Jerry that is pretty common on h-10's such a thin small coin I've seen the denticles perfect and others messed up. Sometimes fused together, longer,or shorter.

 

"Expert Grader" Yeah right
