Wanted to see what everyone thinks of this one. It's one of my first bust halves. It's a slabbed coin but of the four people I've showed it to in person two said it was over-graded and the others said it was about right. I'll post the assigned grade some time tomorrow. Also, these are my first pictures. More lighting, less lighting, any tips?   Edited by Landon

Looks like honest and even wear. VF20 or maybe VF25.

Nice clear picture, I would grade it at VF-25.

This coin looks like a weak strike, and is probably slabbed VF-30 or so. For overall detail, I'd grade it VF-20 but the surfaces look like a higher grade than that.

I think it is a very nice coin with good color, a little dark on the reverse. I think it is a solid VF-20 and make have the chance to stretch a little to 25.
So who graded it and what did they call it? (The holder doesn't look like any of the top eight or nine companies.)

Isn't that a (somewhat) older ANACS slab? |

 Based on all the responses it looks like ANACS was right on and if anything on the conservative side. Thanks everyone for your time. |

VF20 was a solid grade for that coin. Your friends who thought it was overgraded were off the mark.

Nope. Just a really nice, original Bustie, prototypical for the grade. Nothing else looks like a circulated Bust Half, and that's a good thing.  |
