Team, Here is one of the beauties of walking down to the MailBox on a warm summer afternoon; the wait is over. This 1827 capped Bust Half Dollar is an O-114 variety, R-3, and appears to be in EF-40/XF-45 condition with my opinion leaning more to the 45, this baby is HAMMERED!!! Any thoughts or observations would be greatly appreciated. Take Care Ya'll Ben
The strike looks very good other than some of the stars are pretty flat. Is that a common occurence on these? It seems to me that the stars would stand a better chance of being fully struck than the high points on Liberty. I would go with 45 also, the detail on the talons is still good, very little wear. Nice one.
Fantastic ! Great color. Interesting how a circulated business strike can show a cameo effect like that.
Another beauty , color is awesome , I think 45 too do they use 48 yet , Please don't tell me you got it under $250 , another great find . Ben how do you do it ? rzage
Here she is (the auction that is)... Their pictures didn't do the coin justice and I suspected the pics were adjusted so-to-speak... Mine are as taken. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190237505988
I believe I said in the other thread your pictures would be better!!! Very nice coin! Their lousy pictures is your benefit. Good Deal. I have no problem with Xf40 or 45.
