    Undergraded, according to CAC Gold bean.

    This one should be graded MS-64, Brown, not MS-63. If it were an MS-64, I might not lose money on it if I were to sell it.

    This 1835 half cent is better than this 1826, which did get the MS-64 grade.

    Here are two more. Which one do you think grades higher?

    That's a tough one I like the obverse of the top one and the reverse of the bottom one.
    But the top one over all is brighter and clean cheek so I'll go with that.

    The top one is an NGC MS-61. I bought that when I was dealer from another dealer and decided to hang on to it.

    The bottom one is a PCGS MS-64, CAC

    I have seen inconsistent grading on this unusual No Motto type coin because it is lightly struck.

    I think this one is undergraded in the old small ANACS holder.

    I guess that I could have mentioned that PCGS labeled my 1809 as XF 45.

    Wow, that is woefully undergraded. What do you think the true grade on your coin is?

    Not sure about that. Of course, it’s weakly struck, but the coin is also a bit dark and its luster may not be good enough for AU. It could also be a net grade for what looks like an early stage of env damage.

    Looking at the high points - such as the hair and feather tips - the coin seems to me to display at minimum mid-AU details. It is weakly struck; however, in my opinion, that shouldn't significantly affect the grade assigned to the coin. Again, all of this is just my opinion. As they say, grading is subjective.

    I got me feet up and am too lazy to go get in the safe. All I have handy is the obverse. This gorgeous half is an AU58 holder. I may be jaded because I love this coin. But I think it should be an MS piece.

    Thank you. I have been smitten by that half since the day I bought her.
