My New Crusty Bustie

Picked this up at the local watering hole yesterday. The scans don't help all that much with the coin, but it's atleast a VF-25, maybe a chance at VF-30. The reverse wings got all mushy with the scan likewise with the obverse hair.

I think I know what the Overton number is on this one, but please give me your insight. I'll post what I think it is after some guesses. Oh, here's a hint, I don't think Bone has this variety yet (that eliminates O-102 and O-119).

is it that grey in person, or is that a product of the scan?

 

It's pretty dark and crusty in person. I'm not sure it's that dark, but pretty close.

 

Good Choice. A nice CBH which hasn't been messed with or altered in any way. Very Nice

Best guess: O-116.
Altho it is hard to be sure without having the coin in hand.
Still, nice.

 

Very nice coin!

 

Kewl coin..never seen that one before..thanks for showing it

 

Twiggs:
check out Bonediggers posts!

 

I had the Overton at O-117 (R2) since I see doubling on the "5" of "50 C.". Also, the "E PLURIBUS UNUM" in the scroll seems to line up with everything above it.

 

I like it! It's a very nice and crusty piece. I have no problem with it as a VF-25.

I don't have an Overton book nearby, so I can't help there, as I unfortunately do not know my Overton's from memory....lol.

 

Nice VF coin, and very nice crust factor! :thumb:

I'm not an Overton guy, so I'll leave that to the experts.

Have fun & thanks for sharing..Mike

 

Great coin!! Never see any bust halves around here

 

VF-25....with some flat spots...nice tone !

 

Darn, I was off by one.
(see above)
But I was wavering between them.
Nice buy.

 

nice coin
