Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 12:49 am Picked up this 1808 Capped Bust Half at a local coin shop. It is graded by NGC. What do you think? Thanks, Joe2007 Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 01:51 am I'm going to call it F15, because this looks to be an uncommonly-good strike - denticles, stars, hair, etc. - for a year known for indifferent strikes. VF20 wouldn't floor me, though. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 02:13 am I really like it! NGC has been a bit generous on early CBH I've seen lately so I'll guess they said VF25. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18702 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 08:32 am I'm with SsuperDdave on this one. F15. very nice example of an early half. Report this Post to the Staff
jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 09:05 am Ditto Ssuperdave. F-15 with a shot at 20. This coin has excellent eye appeal, the strike is better than most. It's also centered well. I would buy CBHs that looked like this all day long! Fantastic coin. Report this Post to the Staff
RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 10:05 am VF-20, reverse is a little less but overall I think it just makes VF due to the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff

ProfLiz Valued Member United States 373 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 12:44 pm I don't know how to grade these, but... Wow! What a gorgeous, original, old coin! Nice pick-up regardless of the TPG grade! Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 1:27 pm VF20 awesome half...may I inquire as to the cost? Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 4:57 pm I will post the grade and the cost later on tonight. Keep the guesses coming! The same coin shop that I bought the 1820 and this one has a really nice 1810 that I'm sorely tempted by as well. Thank you, Joe2007 Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 5:26 pm I cautiously say: VF-20. And ProfLiz said it well: a NICE, honest old coin. Edited by matthewvincent 05/23/2013 5:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
