Don't be disappointed with that, you still have an amazing looking coin. While late to the game on this one, I wouldn't have gone as high as AU. It's a solid EF and PCGS got it right in my opinion.

It might have been netted down for a light cleaning if there was one.

And it could easily grade AU50 if submitted tomorrow. Don't fret over the 45 grade, it sounds a touch low but "original luster" is very important at the AU level and that might have hurt it as SC eludes too.

Was a variety firmly established on your coin? Did you have it attributed at PCGS? The values on these are all over the place in XF. Some as low as $350 and some approaching $1500.

When I sent it I did not have it checked for a variety. I was told that it wouldn't make a difference on value. After it returns I will rescan and post new pictures. Thanks BH

It is O-102 (R-1).
That is not graffiti above the eagle's head.... those are denticle impressions, and they are supposed to be there..... they are on all examples of this variety. Quote:
the coin is going to be worth more in a slab without the variety mentioned (since it is a very common variety). If it was a rare variety, then the attribution on the label would be a plus.... If my words are meaningless to either of you, just say so, and I shall refrain from further postings. Edited by zeewool

Wow man! That is a beautiful coin! My 1826 bust half wouldn't stand a chance against that 1809! Great find! I would grade AU-54

No offense ufans, I didn't read back through all the posts. So, if this is a common variety then CoinFacts auction results puts it's value around $450-$500 in XF45. |

w1a9c8k5,
Even though you may be disappointed that it didn't grade QUITE as high as you'd hoped, you have to admit it's a beautiful coin, and think about someone carrying it around as pocket change 200 years ago; that's pretty amazing, and isn't that why we enjoy having these?
