Coin Grading Help...

I just recently purchased an 1828 Capped Bust Half Dollar
and I was wondering, what are your opinions on it....
IMO, I think its a great coin...(price was $38.99)
and a pretty good bargain...but what's the grade on it???
I'm not really sure but the surface looks original....
thanks for the help and remember:



good luck and happy hunting

VG-8 or G-6 - I'm torn and will call it a Almost VG 7.

As for if it's a bargain or not, I have no idea, but $40 can't be all that bad of a deal for a coin from 1828!

 

G6 Details, old cleaning, marker damage?

 

$39 sounds fair. Looks G06 to me.

 

What variety would this coin be under???
I looked up the redbook and it has over 5
different kinds of varieties....

The black spots...are they really marker damage???

 

Yes not bad considering in good 4 condition
ranges from: $65 to $70

 

Looks like O-108 (Overton).

Large 8's, Square base, knobbed 2.

but, someone will correct me if I am off.

 

I like the G-6 grade for the coin and would not worry about any old cleaning. Looks nice to me for the price.

 

thanks for all of the input....much appreciated
I feel better knowing I get the best help around here=)
