Don't let the scratches on the plastic fool you!

Shot in the dark...AU 53

 

AU50, but it is hard to read since your pictures are just out of focus.

 

AU55

 

Looks nice, but I will go with XF-45. The color looks a little washed out in the pictures and with the weak strike it is kind of hard to tell.

 

I don't see the button, maybe someone un-buckled it yesterday and she forgot to button back up....❤
VF35

 

I'm trying to get better pictures, but having a hard time with the plastic.

 

The pictures are fine except either you are moving the camera/coin or they are not quite in focus.

 

I think these are a little better. Good enough to get an Overton?

 

VF35.

 

My preliminary guess: O-113a.

Edit: The Obverse matches O-113a -- especially that long die crack thru the 1 and over the date.

It's identical to the die crack shown on pg 276 of "U.S. Early Half Dollars Die Varieties 1794 - 1836" 5th edition.

If I'm right, then it's Rarity is "Very Scarce" (estimated 81-200 examples exist).

Are you selling?

 

I'm going to guess VF 35

 

Unusual coin. Reverse well struck up but obverse bust looks a little mushy. I would guess instead of weak strike worn obverse die myself. Grade? I would be between a 35 and a 40, (maybe 45), depending on the coin in hand. I agree on the luster, but at times that is the photograph.

 

Lovely original coin, I'll go XF-45. No clue on the Overton though.

 

I looked the O-113a up on coin facts. Looks like a dead ringer. Good call!

 

Nice coin. XF 45, with attractive original color. I don't follow varieties, so I can't comment on that. Just think it is a desirable coin, with nice detail for a chocolate toned, original coin. I like it.

 

Looks like a weak strike on Obverse with an overall grade of XF

 

I'll guess 40. Love all those die cracks!

 

Should probably be XF from a weak strike but I will guess they gave it a VF 30

 

I'm in the 40 group , though if it were my coin I'd put a 35 on it .
