GTG On My First CBH Pickup - 1826

Picked up at a live auction today. The only coin I ended up grabbing there.

Can see why people like CBHs so much they are great coins.

Beautiful coin, What is CBH?

 

Thanks! Capped Bust Half.

 

Thanks, Just woke up from a nap and brain isn't fully functioning. Somehow I read that CBH was the live auction. Hadn't heard of that one, now I know why.

 

Frank, @Treashunt would give you a grumpy drumming........

 

OP? Looks Sweet.

 

Nice coin an O-111 ? Au.

 

Thanks! I'll try and work that out right now wasn't listed on slab

 

1826 had a supremely sharp strike on the obverse that year. This coin has the look of an AU58, but in reality it's an AU53.

 

Blasted stuff makes me cross eyed..........besides, I'm out of town and my Overton is back home........not that I could determine the variety anyway.

 

You should have a go at half dimes

 

Perish the thought Paddy. My dance card is full already. What, with the new Grandson...........

 

I think maybe it's an O-115 but my skills at determining that are pretty lacking

 

That is an excellent beautiful CBH

Better than any of my 1832 hoard of CBH's

It much easier having the specimen in hand and your references on the desk.Jumping from on line references and an image will drive you nuts.

 

Also in the AU-55 area if they even give that grade.
Beauty.

 

I'll say it's uncirculated and go with MS 63

 

Gorgeous CBH!! I'd call it AU-55 based on the images.

 

Ooh, very nice. I’ll wager AU58.

 

I am thinking they gave it the benefit of the doubt,
MS 62,
