1818 Capped Bust Half Dollar "Pincher"

Nice coin! Though I am no expert, there also appears to be some sort of doubling going on, on the reverse especially. Will be watching this one to see what the pros have to say.

In the old days we referred to that as the top of the 8's.

Nice looking AU-53 coin.

I'm at XF40 maybe 45

Thanks for your grading opinions, 40 to 53.
The coin's on a local online estate auction closing in a couple hours. It's odd he only has a couple loose coins for auction. The coin is currently at $264, not a bad price if not counterfeit.
Some of the fake coins for sale on Etsy can easily fool a novice without checking the coin in person.

Obverse appears to have near-AU detail. I'd say XF40 for the reverse, for XF-40 maybe 45 overall.
Color is a little odd; maybe the coin is retoning after an old dip. Eye appeal seems OK. I see a PCGS graded VF-30 example sold for $341 recently on Heritage while a scratched XF details coin went for $159. If this coin grades problem-free and can be had for a little over current $264 bid it could be a good deal.

If you get it please report back!
