I have been looking at a XF 1829/7 Bust half, at a local shop.
I know it is hard to put a value on a coin with out seeing it, or a picture. I guess I am just hoping there are some experts here that can give me a ballpark figure on what it should sell for.
The offer is at $160.00 right now.
I looked numismedia shows XF-40 at $245
2010 redbook shows XF-40 at $200
Again I hope I can get some input from the CBH experts .. as far as .. is this a good deal and should I look for anything on the coin.

Eye appeal on bust coinage varies widely. Generally I would be willing to pay $160 for an uncleaned, attractive, XF-detailed bust half of even the most common date. I would use your best judgment. If it's blotchy, rough, weak, cleaned or unattractive, $160 may not be the best deal afterall.

Thanks .. I did not know what it listed at in greysheet.
When I looked at it today, what I remember it has a couple small black spots on the cheek.
It seemed to be a good strike with good detail.
I like going back and taking a second look, I seemed to see more that way.
If it still looks good tomorrow .. I will pick it up.

I am not sure why on am on the fence with this coin.
But I did go ahead and buy it this afternoon.
Moe,
Thanks for posting pics of your coin. From what I do know about these coins, I am thinking yours was a early die strike.
Mine shows the stars stretching to the rims, and the arrow shafts on mine are missing part of the shafts. Yours are a little weak, so I guess this is common to this coin.
Here are a couple pics, I guess I really need to set up something better to take pics .. I can see the holding the camera does not let me get very good focus.

Thanks for the comments.
The detail of this coin is really great .. I think even better in hand then in the pics.
As for maybe having a older cleaning .. for me it is hard to tell, I looked at this coin several times trying to determine if it may have been cleaned. I don't think I have enough knowledge on these type coins.
I do think I can see luster on the coin. I am open to expert opinions on this.
The more I look at it the more I like it. I like the idea that this coin was made when Andrew Jackson was president.

Goldrush! Man, what a beautiful example of the type! 
If I figure the Overtons correctly, mine appears to be an early O-101 and yours is a O-101a. (This die state is identical to the O-101 die state EXCEPT on the reverse of the O-101a the die has been heavily lapped.
This lapping has removed the tail feathers, the feathers at the right side of the shield and a large portion of the arrow shafts at the claws). (From Coinzip.com)
