<p>[QUOTE="BryceS, post: 8476014, member: 106178"]A few weeks ago, I purchased an 1810 Capped Bust Half Dollar at auction. Now that I've had the coin in hand for a bit over a week, I figured that I would ask you all what you think the coin would grade at. Before I post the pictures, I'll have you know a couple of things: 1. This coin is the O-102a variety, a variety that displays a weakly struck left wing on the reverse. 2. I've included three sets of pictures. The first set shows the coin without much light, the second set shows the coin with more light on the surfaces, and the third set shows the photos from the seller. The seller's photos are closest to the actual color of the coin, and there is no blue or yellow hue like the second set of photos would suggest. 3. The coin has a light film on it that somewhat subdues the luster. Although this might make the surfaces look a bit washed out, after looking at it several times, I don't believe the coin has been cleaned. With that said, I'd love to hear everyone's opinions on the grade. Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1501188[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1501189[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1501190[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1501191[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
