Pics don't do it justice. I was actually hoping for 65-6 with it. A different day probably. Pcgs was super tough on this order
A lot 55 should've been the minimum and 58 wouldn't have surprised me they were really tough on this order. At least they didn't bag anything with a bs details grade
Assuming it's going to be for sale eventually, it depends how much you're into it and whether you think PCGS will actually upgrade it. According to their price guide, 50->53 isn't that big a jump, but 50->55 would almost definitely make it worth it.
NGC capped bust halves bring terrible money. You can readily find NGC AU55's for AU50 money, and AU58's for less than $600.
You have a point there. I usually send my bust halves to pcgs anyway as usually their spot on in grading
OK, here are the close up pictures. Place your bets on whether this will grade with PCGS. Either way, I think it is a really nice coin for the price I paid.
You can't grade this coin unless you have it in hand with a loupe. The toning breaks and color blend with the surfaces and prevent us from making any educated guess. Could be VF35 or MS65
