GTG: 1835 Capped Bust Half Dollar

I would not think that is the best idea in this case. The price difference between an XF 40 and and AU 50 isn't too significant (around $100 based on recent sales). Plus the OGH already has a built in premium that would likely help sell the coin above typical XF 40 prices. Finally, as @V. Kurt Bellman mentioned, this coin appears to have had a cleaning in its distant past. I wouldn't bet on PCGS or NGC straight grading that coin now if it was submitted raw.

I was at 50. I’d keep it in the green holder. I don’t think the surfaces would cac either. So best left as is. They may have net graded it due to surfaces too

 

Exactly. Your comment is spot on.

 

Hey we nailed it

 

I hope your right. An AU sticker would go nicely with your others. You do have some great coins. I can only wish that this year when i plant. I find something lower then 1910. My oldest coin

 

I would have guessed XF details, but we were told it received a numeric grade. It’s certainly not an AU coin, so 40/45 were the only options left.

 

I was at 50 and was scrolling down when I saw the reveal. I’d send it in, too.
