You versus the PCGS! This newly acquired lovely was just liberated from its plastic prison!


What grade do you think PCGS gave it?


Thanks for looking!

It looks like VF 30 to me, a really low mintage coin.
Rest in Peace

It's a solid VF and even a high end example so VF-35, just a bit too much ear to make an EF grade IMO.

Another vote for VF-35. Weakness at the center of LIBERTY is acceptable on these coins at this level. This coin looks like it had a light cleaning at some time but PCGS might not have thought so.

I would go VF-30 but I think they gave it a VF-25.

Nice! There were quite a few of our astute CCFers who were right on top of this one!

I'm just happy to have found any 1850 Seated Half. I have been looking for a LONG time!

Note: I completely agree with the PCGS grade.
