<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1688401, member: 26030"]<b>1822 Capped Bust Half Dollar (PCGS XF45). </b> Just bought this one. PCGS Price Guide at XF45 is $315, and I paid $595 (about a 1.88x toning premium). I didn't mind paying up at all, as I LOVE the attractive target toning and also got a kick out of the date (those ornate scroll-y 2's are cool). (It is interesting to note that at AU50, the PCGS Price Guide jumps to $525 ... upgrade potential? as Rick S. wrote below.) The seller sent me this description (I slightly edited): "Obverse is AU all the way -- so it gives this a great look in the holder. I have the coin in my hand now and as I rotate it the obverse shows some original luster, which makes the toning look better in hand. Front side has a more of a orange-gold to green target, while the reverse is more of an orange-gold to blue-green."</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1822_O.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1822_R.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
