Y'all are good. PCGS graded it AU 55. Luster doesn't show up very well under the toning, but the reverse gives a pretty good idea of the degree...
I'd say vf20-25. Looks like a decent example
the CPG has a DDR listed for the 1917-D type 1. Do you have a photo that shows the doubling? You might consider starting a new thread on the topic.
larger pics? [IMG][IMG]
hints: straight graded by PCGS. I don't own any MS bust halves. [IMG][IMG]
Interesting hypothesis. Are you planning to do an experiment along those lines?
Is the 04-O in the OP the same coin as the one posted by dddd in the ANACS holder? Can anyone show an example of the type of album that would...

I envy you New Englanders with your opportunity to find nice colonial coins in situ. About the nicest MD finds I've seen here in eastern Va. are...
I think F12 details, cleaned/scratched. Value for a G according to numismedia retail is about 30$. Retail, of course. I don't think the coin in...
I like the coin, 1st year of Civil War, good obverse strike, and not cleaned or dipped to death. A nice example!
attractive coin, average strike. The toning is in a nice crescent that accentuates the central design. It still isn't a coin that makes me say...
Just added this to the collection, 1814 E/A VF30, subject of a recent GTG thread. [IMG][IMG]
Really can't grade proofs from photos with much accuracy as hairlines may only show at certain angles. That being said, I'll guess PR65, CAC....
"The general who never lost a bottle," ha! That's a good one.
NIce looking old silver half. I'm partial to the 20/19 overdate.
