<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 83730, member: 1674&quot;]The 1836-1839 bust halves were struck with a reeded edge so they must be graded a little differently than the previous issues.&nbsp; Because the rim on the reeded edge halves sits higher it was able to protect the coin&#039;s design elements from wear better than the lettered edge halves.&nbsp; Therefore you see heavy wear on the rim and less wear on the design than you would see on a lettered edge bustie that had seen the exact same number of &quot;transactions&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;d grade the 39O as a F15/VF20.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
