Hi again! I have posted this before, but hope to get some feedback on the luster of this coin - if the video below helps. Its a wonderful 1806 Draped Bust Half Dollar Stem variety. Its in the raw and I am trying to decide on a grade for this. My first thought was perhaps a high XF to low AU, but most of the response so far have said mid 50s on it. Perhaps its just that i am not so familiar handling the Draped Bust series - but from what I have understood and seen on the specimens of this series I have handled - is that they are somewhat notoriously weak struck..? Here are all the photos I have as well as a video. Any updated comments, @johnmilton , @ksparrow or orthers? Thanks again!
I can't decide. The first set of images make me think AU-50 but the second set make me think XF-45. Either way it's a really nice coin.
Thanks again you all for the inputs! I had a hard time believing a high AU grade for this but Ill settle for AU-53 anyday
