    This is my first Bust half and now one of my favorite coins in my collection. The toning on this coin is beautiful to me. I originally set a $150 limit to pick up a mid grade likely raw coin. I knew it would be a challenge to find a coin at this price that would grade. I found this coin on eBay that offered BO. I made an offer (over my limit), and they accepted. I was glad to spend the little extra to get this coin. For a 184 year old coin, it is in pretty good shape. So what do you think - GTG and any other comments included with the grade.

    35, maybe 40 (revised from original guess of 45, as I was multi-tasking, like I always do)

    XF40, it's got some nice toning, I think it's a great coin for a Type Set.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I like this better as a 35 than a 40, but the obverse is quite attractive. Congrats on the purchase.

    Looks like I guessed right. My US Type Set is XF40+ I hope to find one as nice as yours when I get to that slot. Thanks for posting and sharing with us!
