Hard for me to see it as less than 40.
obv looks VG to me. rev weaker, probably due to strike. So I'll say VG8.
I'll guess 55, great looking coin.
Leaning more towards upper AU now
from the pix, AU58 or MS64, probably the latter in reality
Fake. Copious "Beijing mint frost."
Just adding my faint voice to the chorus, coin has been polished, please don't waste your hard earned money on a submission.
I think she looks perfect as is. Glad you were conservative with the conservation!
The obverse looks like it has some corrosion issues? Overall detail looks about vf30 to me.
I like the half eagle, looks 62-63 to me.
Looks AU to me, great buy!
What the heck. I'll guess 65 on both.
An acetone soak for a few hours or overnight would not hurt. I'd skip the rose thorn, though, that could cause some really unattractive marks in...
RE: my 1840 dollar; fiddlehead asked if it was graded: Yes, it graded xf45 at pcgs.
I agree with Mainebill.
I think it might squeak in at 20. Looks really nice.
I'll go vf35, great looking coin!
I think 65, the nick on the cheek would keep it from a higher grade. I don't think it quite makes FSB
I think that's what the guy who colored it was doing at the time.
I'll throw this one out there. Bought at auction about 7 years ago. In retrospect, probably an old dip and some retoning since. [IMG] [IMG]
