XF-40, I like the look of this coin. Quote:
To be fair with regard to guessing the price, I will add that I got lucky with this one. That is what I was thinking. I remember that you don't pay massive amounts in European auctions. My guess is $775 Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

If it goes to a legit contest maybe the OP will give everyone 2 guesses? Or, 2 prizes - one for closest price and one for closest grade (soonest guessed)....

35 seems right. Nice coin!
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Very handsome coin! I'd also say VF-35, and I'd guess 4 years ago you paid $375.

That's a stunner of an 1800 S-205. I was thinking choice VF35. Amazing color and surfaces.
Price in 2018 $550. Market was still down back then. Nowadays that coin probably gets $1500+ full retail.

Ok, I guess I still have to amend my previous 'tip' regarding the price I paid so as to make it fair for you all: I did not just get lucky with it, I mean, it was more like 'really' lucky...

@ paralyse - I dont think its a 205. I agree with the obverse but I think I see a little die crack between the bases of C and A in ameriCA on the reverse.
1800 is one of the hardest years for me to attribute. the differences on some of the dies are incredibly minor. if my attribution is wrong (which is certainly possible) and it is 205 my eac 25 grade would put it around cc 12 or so.

obv VF35 rev XF40
really nice example of a draped bust. nice color and planchet. this would command a premium in my eyes.
S205 is an R4
anything less than $1300 was good deal back then. I'm going with $1000

@CarrsCoins you are probably correct!
Regardless of the variety, though, it's a winner in my book.

A really nice-looking coin. I am going to say VF-35. I'm going to say you purchased it for $415
