Weekend Rainbow Capped Bust Half - 1822 Edition

Still catching up on coins I've bought in the past year or two that I haven't posted yet. Here's a beauty. Got this one last year, but it has an absolutely stunning rainbow!

Guess the grade and Overton (this one is a very distinctive variety and should jump out, if you know what you're looking for)

Pretty coin. I'll go with AU50.

 

I am at XF45.

I know the variety, but will give others a chance to play. As to grade, my first thought was VF 35, but I raised it to XF-40 (and wouldn't be surprised at 45)

 

I'm at XF-40 for this beauty.

 

about XF-40, give or take 5 pts, O-107 button cap variety… but most importantly it’s a very nice coin

 

You guys are all too generous on the grade (compared to what PCGS said). The luster is throwing you off a bit, I think - take a look at the level of wear on the coin.

 

I'm with you at XF40.

 

Pretty and xf 40

 

I think PCGS called it 35, to me looks 40ish

 

Cool coin.
XF40

 

Thanks!

Yes, as several of you mentioned, the variety stands out because of its unique "button in cap" feature. This is O-107, rated as an R-2 or R-3 depending on where you look.

Nobody has guessed the grade that PCGS gave it yet, so I'll wait to post that until this afternoon!

 

That is reasonable, Tough.

For those curious - PCGS gave this a VF-30.

I paid a whole lot more than that when I got it from Heritage!

 

Wow, I would have never guessed that low.

 

I didn't even think it would be low enough for vf35... but conservatively vf35. Wow. Obviously that's why you paid more. Because people bid on the coin and not the holder.
