<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 649436, member: 7638&quot;]Another early purchase, an 1827 bust half. I bought it raw, it was bright white, I sent it in to the &quot;old&quot; ICG with a bunch of other stuff, and it came back in an AU53 holder!&nbsp; At that time, ICG would not slab problem coins, and probably half the coins I sent in came back ungraded, usually as &#039;cleaned.&#039;&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe they just took pity on me. Anyway, there is no doubt in my mind that this coin is cleaned, and overly bright from dip. So, beware the &quot;blast white&quot; early coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/early%20halves/busthalf1827ICGrev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/early%20halves/busthalf1827ICGobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
