1834 Capped Bust Half

Thanks! that would be nice if it was worth even close to that, as it cost me 57 bucks.

Fascinating and important, if common, variety. It's O-106, a transitional Large Date, Small Letters variety with the obverse used in 1833 and before and the later reverse. Look at the badly-blundered overpunched 4 in the date, and the almost equally-blundered left stand of the M in AMERICA.

I have no problem with VF35 for this one. The clasp is untouched, and the shield still sharp.

Bought at a....nice wholesale discount.

VF30 and a great deal at $57.

Thanks for all the info and replies. I'm very happy with this buy now!

$57! Wow, that's a steal! I'm still sticking with XF-40, but I would say SsuperDdave is a better grader, so trust him more than me ;)

I need to drop off a coin at ICG do you guys think this would be worth getting graded or no?

I wouldn't worry about slabbing it. The Bust Half buying demographic isn't set on slabbing, and frankly an ICG slab isn't too large an asset in the marketplace.

It looks nice and at a good price. The one I showed(1821) is super polished and not something you want in a collection. Here is a VF-25 from NGC for you to compare with. I paid $90 back in June.
