    Here is a decent 1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar, Overton Variety -105. Even though it has probably been cleaned at some point in the past, I would appreciate some of your grade opinions.

    Thanks

    I think it has VF-20 details, but there's a lot of issues in the fields on both sides, in addition to the cleaning.

    Net VG-8.

    Beautiful Coin!!!

    I have no experience with this type but my initial reaction was VF.

    I see others agree, excluding the cleaning factor.

    Thanks for the post. I'm really starting to like these coins and its all your fault Bone!

    I have to go against the grain here. I say Fine. There is not enough detail in the clasp or the hair behind the ear. The reverse does not have enough detail in the wings for VF.

    Very nice coin Ben, I enjoy looking at them thats for sure. Guess I will have to start posting a few as well. : ) Not enough for the BCBHNC but close..
