im gonna go with XF 40 on this one.

 

I think I have seen this one in-hand and I like it quite a bit.

 

Yes you did see this one last year . You wanted to buy it from me ! :-}
You also liked the 1818/7 I had, both had a similar look.

 

I'm going to say XF as well. Nice coin!

just for fun XF45

 

Au-50

 

This was is graded as AU 50 by NGC certified by CAC.

 

Another nice coin!

I'm going to go with my first thought -- 40.

Thought it might go higher, but I can't see enough luster to grade it so.

 

Darn.

Mark, How's the luster in-hand? It appears muted (and led me to guess what I did).

Just wondering...Mike

 

For an Au 50 the luster is more then acceptable. For those who love original Bust Half’s the coin is a very desirable chocolate brown . As you know CAC is very strict so the green bean solidifies the grade for me.

 

I know the "look" and I have some experience with the CAC. However, the coin appeared a bit flat (perhaps the photos) with respect to luster -- thus the question. Please don't take it the wrong way.

 

Au-50, I was going to go XF-45, but in hand it may have just a tad more luster than in the photos. A nice one imo as mine is only about a F-12

 

Most of the remaining luster in confined to the peripherals and protected areas.
This coin also had a good strike.

 

Looks XF-45 ??

 

I didn't see it in time to guess...
Nice coin though!.
