    I'm a bargain shopper so I dont usually
    buy coins over $50 unless its worth it...

    today's purchase...I bought a 1858-O
    Seated Liberty Half Dollar...and I was wondering
    what grade would this coin get??? I got it for $32...

    Could be the pics, but it looks like it has been lightly polished to me.

    With over 7 million struck, it's the most common of Variety 1 issues.
    My estimate is based on an uncleaned example, which I cannot determine from here.

    With Liberty mostly sharp; my estimate is VF-25.
    Value near $75 retail; dealer might pay $40 or so.
    It was a good buy at $32.00, imho. : )

    Greysheet Bid is $50 in VF and your coin looks VF+ to me so I say: "Good Deal".
