<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 397643, member: 4367&quot;]Here are the latest two Bust Halves.&nbsp; They both arrived in the mail the same day and these are just preliminary pictures, LOL.</p><p><br /></p><p>#1, 1833, O-104, R1; the coin has some luster left where my arrows point, the details say AU-50 but the apparent rubbing marks force me to give it the Bonedigger Numismatic Trust (BNT) Grade of XF-45.</p><p><img src="http://www.jabpublish.com/1833CBH1041.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>#2.,&nbsp; 1813, O-102 R-4, a very nice example of a typically soft struck coin which lacks milling and usually is an overall mess; typical for an early US Mint issue.&nbsp; Notice the clash marks (shield) near the ear.&nbsp; This is one of the tough varieties for the year 1813.&nbsp; The BNT gave this coin an AU-50 based upon others in worse condition receiving EF-40s and XF-45s and the strong details (meat) of the coin.</p><p><img src="http://www.jabpublish.com/1813CBH102.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please post comments if you&#039;re so inclined. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
