New CBH on the cheap

Maybe the seller knew something I don't, but got this half for just over $50 a few days ago. I'm still trying to learn this set, but it seems like a nice coin to me. Pics aren't too great as the only thing I have that take close up pics is a video camera.

Maybe Bone can fill me in on anything I missed besides the few small scratches.

It's a good looking coin with a great strike, I wouldn't worry too much about the ding at 1:00. :thumb: If the pictures are natural (un photoshopped), you got your money's worth.

it looks beautiful

 

I'm too lazy to photshop anything. Thats pretty close to it's color, aside from the weird rainbow effects my camera makes on corners. Thanks for the input.

Looks like an O-108, R-1; but my reference book is out in the office.

Take Care

Nice coin!

 

Is that a die crack going from the 11th star to Ms. Liberty's hair?

 

It kinda looks like a scratch to me.

 

It's a scratch. There;s also one at about 1 o'clock.

Wait a minute!!

You have these memorized????????????

 

No, I just checked www.coinzip.com and started looking at the 1831s one after the other...

 

Good deal.

 

Don't let him fool you - he knows them by heart.

 

I think you made an excellent purchase. The value may not leap up, but if you're collecting the series and in it for the long haul, you did great.
