GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/29/2010 9:03 pm I have been looking at a XF 1829/7 Bust half, at a local shop. I know it is hard to put a value on a coin with out seeing it, or a picture. I guess I am just hoping there are some experts here that can give me a ballpark figure on what it should sell for. The offer is at $160.00 right now. I looked numismedia shows XF-40 at $245 2010 RedBook shows XF-40 at $200 Again I hope I can get some input from the CBH experts .. as far as .. is this a good deal and should I look for anything on the coin.

matt New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 07/29/2010 9:49 pm Eye appeal on bust coinage varies widely. Generally I would be willing to pay $160 for an uncleaned, attractive, XF-detailed bust half of even the most common date. I would use your best judgment. If it's blotchy, rough, weak, cleaned or unattractive, $160 may not be the best deal afterall. Report this Post to the Staff

It's price in Greysheet XF ($150) is only a touch more than the common dates. Matt noted eye appeal and also being problem free as the big issues. The $160 price sounds good for a nice looking, problem-free piece. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/29/2010 11:56 pm bherring1964 Thanks .. I did not know what it listed at in greysheet. When I looked at it today, what I remember it has a couple small black spots on the cheek. It seemed to be a good strike with good detail. I like going back and taking a second look, I seemed to see more that way. If it still looks good tomorrow .. I will pick it up. Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/30/2010 4:09 pm I am not sure why on am on the fence with this coin. But I did go ahead and buy it this afternoon. Moe, Thanks for posting pics of your coin. From what I do know about these coins, I am thinking yours was a early die strike. Mine shows the stars stretching to the rims, and the arrow shafts on mine are missing part of the shafts. Yours are a little weak, so I guess this is common to this coin. Here are a couple pics, I guess I really need to set up something better to take pics .. I can see the holding the camera does not let me get very good focus. Report this Post to the Staff
delaner Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 07/30/2010 4:32 pm WOW! That's a beaut, GoldRush! Some people get worked up about cleaning, but I don't - it looks like this one may have been cleaned a long time ago, right? The detail is AMAZING! Certainly a grand addition to any collection. And so, CONGRATULATIONS on your latest purchase! =) Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/30/2010 9:45 pm delaner Thanks for the comments. The detail of this coin is really great .. I think even better in hand then in the pics. As for maybe having a older cleaning .. for me it is hard to tell, I looked at this coin several times trying to determine if it may have been cleaned. I don't think I have enough knowledge on these type coins. I do think I can see luster on the coin. I am open to expert opinions on this. The more I look at it the more I like it. I like the idea that this coin was made when Andrew Jackson was president. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 07/31/2010 2:46 pm Goldrush! Man, what a beautiful example of the type! If I figure the Overtons correctly, mine appears to be an early O-101 and yours is a O-101a. (This die state is identical to the O-101 die state EXCEPT on the reverse of the O-101a the die has been heavily lapped. This lapping has removed the tail feathers, the feathers at the right side of the shield and a large portion of the arrow shafts at the claws). (From Coinzip.com) Report this Post to the Staff
