    Here is an 1821 Capped Bust Half. For those of you who are familiar with me you know I collect these, and this surprisingly is one of the few ones I needed. I now have it and am requesting your keen eye and grading skills to assist me with assigning the proper grade to the coin. It appears to have been cleaned in the distant (50's or 60's) past and am sure you will take that into consideration.

    All help in this matter will be appreciated :)

    Nice coin....it is more centered than most I've seen...
    As you said...more than likely cleaned...so I'll give a NET grade....I don't think it would grade over VG8.....but as QDB says....Grading was, is, and always will be a matter of opinion :D ;)
