jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 10/24/2024 8:18 pm Quote: So for anyone that cares to share, is there a particular source that is the gold standard for evaluating rarity? Or does it depend on the series? For Capped Bust half dollars, it is the semi-annual Auction and Mail Bid Prices Realized for Bust Half Dollars 1794-1839 (AMBPR) composed by Steve Herrman. He looks at every auction house and studies die states, putting a lot of hard work into this price guide. You can email him and purchase a copy. His email can be found on this list on the JRCS website: https://www.jrcs.org/jrcs_contact.php Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

jdavis18 Pillar of the Community United States 563 Posts	Posted 10/25/2024 8:04 pm NGC graded this coin a AU-53. I agree with most everyone here that it is likely overgraded and closer to an AU-50. I was considering crossing it to PCGS with an AU-50 minimum, but will probably hold off a little while. Report this Post to the Staff
jdavis18 Pillar of the Community United States 563 Posts	Posted 07/20/2026 6:54 pm I tried crossing this to PCGS with a recent batch of coins with a minimum grade of AU-50. It didn't cross. I can't tell if they are thinking details or XF. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11932 Posts	Posted Today 2H 14M ago Looks correctly graded and a pleasing coin imho. 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."
