1825 CBH Guess the Grade

I bought this coin a little while ago, but I haven't posted it yet. @messydesk recently took these excellent pictures, so I figured I'd share it.

The second set of pictures are mine.

Guess the grade, and Overton. This grade on this one is going to be hard!

O-116
AU 58 (But wouldn't be surprised by an MS holder.

 

I'm edging out on the limb on this one but I'm calling it MS-63. The coin is obviously struck from tired dies - stars and legends drawn to rim, weak STATES, even the olive leaves are drawn to the rim. The bust drapery folds are weak but I don't think I see any wear. Luster's always hard for me to determine from photos. I see quite a lot but the fields look at little dull on the obverse. I don't see much at all in the way of nicks or hits anywhere. So, MS-63 but only due to the luster question. Could be a 64.

 

AU-55. Beautiful coin. I went low because these always grade lower than what I think they should be.

 

Perhaps MS-60.

 

Slider to me. Wild guess 62. But very pretty.

 

O 116. I’m going to go ms 62 I really don’t see true circulation. And definitely less than most cbh that are au-58. But I do see some bag marks from it’s time as the largest silver coinage

 

On second look I think i may be a little low. Monster luster and eye appeal

 

I will guess 62+. Beautiful coin as always.

 

MS 62 is my guess (I see no wear)

 

64

 

Pretty coin.

 

I think MS obverse but an AU reverse.
NET: AU-58

But the flow lines really got my attention.
I like them.

 

It would have been an MS-66, except for that depression on the Ms. Liberty's cheek. It's in an unfortunate spot. I'm going to say MS-64.

It's definitely better than the slider I bought in an MS-63 holder. That was one of my poorer purchases.

 

I am torn between Gem and 64.
I was hoping to see a PL when I saw your GTG.

 

Haha, I do have a PL bust half, but I bought that years ago.

Good guesses, everyone, I will reveal this evening!

 

Yup, it is definitely the O-116, considered an R3.

This one is super easy for those of you who use Dave's bust half site... since this is the example coin! http://maibockaddict.com/1825-o-116-r3-capped-bust-half-dollar.shtml

 

I don’t know but it’s a pretty coin.

 

I looked at it and debated between 58 and 63. I’m going to guess that it graded 58 but looks better than most 63s

 

Good guesses everybody!

PCGS called this one an MS-64.

Several of you got it right, which is awesome!
