1824 Bust Half

Just for fun. What would you grade this if you had not seen the label?

I'm getting an Error 404

 

For sure seems higher than a 50 can't quite get the number though

 

55 to 58.

 

+1

 

55. I’m surprised it didn’t get a gold sticker. 53 on a really conservative day. I like it a lot

 

This is why I don't collect Bust Halves. We've had 8 or 10 posted in the last couple of weeks and nobody can agree on a grade or agree with the TPG's. That's not the only reason I don't collect them, but being retired now my financial adviser (wife) has advised me to keep it down.

 

55+

 

I gave it an AU 58 at first glance. Nice coin.

 

55 to 58. If it were NGC, a definite star grade.

 

I don't know, but like the toning on that coin.

 

AU-55

 

AU 55 any day of the week.

 

What do you know??? A TPG grade that I actually agree with (although I also agree with other posters that it would grade higher today).

The label is wrong, though. The 4/4 is merely recut--not an overdate.

 

I would have gone with 55.

 

50

 

Ok. I'm going to look a red book first. Is that cheating?

 

AU-53. Some ware over eye but less over ear. Total guess
