Quote: I mostly bought the cent because of how nice the reverse is Which is completely fine, but now the question is how much you paid for it. But on a different note, the Capped Bust Half is a very nice coin, one coin type that I have yet to aquire

The bust half is an O-106 R2, unless it has a die crack from edge between stars 11 and twelve to curls, making it an O-106a R3. I'd say VF-25 scratched. IMO not a coin to TPG. The cent is in tough shape, still a keeper. I don't know enough about this large cent to offer an opinion.

1830 = VF details due to scratch 1798 = VF details due to environmental damage

Quote: 1798 Thats what I thought. For 30 bucks that probably worth sending in with another group. I wouldnt send it on its own though

Grade both at VF30 details. 1798 could go 35 but I don't think it would matter as the damage is pretty bad but then again its well over 200 yrs!

VF-20 details on the Bust Half.
Don't know enough about large cents to give an opinion but $30 was a good deal in my opinion.

Nice. I'd say VF and almost EF.

Checking in with a "me too" post concerning the average grades offered already. The slice on the Bustie is a shame; it's a lovely looker otherwise. And the reverse of that 1798 is worth $30 alone, even if the obverse was ground off.

 with VF details. Nice coins especially for the price but not worth sending in.
