AU would be nice. You think this is a good one for sending in someday?
My pessimistic opinion of value is ~$150 in a PCGS slab. If that math works for you, by all means consider slabbing. |

I paid $110.00 two yrs ago, sounds like I did OK.

All day, every day, every single equivalent coin you could sell me at $110. Yeah, that was a decent purchase, and pretty much the Bust Half I'd choose (along with an 1839) for the relevant spots in a 7070. |

Capped Bust Halves enjoy a fanaticism of fan base equaling and perhaps exceeding early copper, which is to say it doesn't get much better. Busties are readily available, thoroughly researched as to variety, attended by a supporting Club with stringent-but-achievable conditions for membership which involve buying a_lot of coins, and (in my humble opinion) an utterly beautiful design. "Red hot" is not transitory. I'm of the opinion that - aside possibly Morgans - Bust Halves are the single most-collectible US coin issue from the standpoint of both buyer and seller. |

Very nice and a keeper, but just too much wear for anything more than a XF40 in my eyes.

I'd love it out of the glare of the Mylar to really see the surface in all of its glory.

Remember how this one looks and buy all you can just like it. Don't think it makes AU though. Put me down for 40-45. Nice coin.

Nice coin!! I agree with XF-40, possibly 45; but not enough luster to go AU imho.

IMO, easily an EF-45 with a good chance of AU-50. Beautiful coin and a beautiful design.  |

Doesn't that hit right in front of Liberty's nose and in the reverse field bother anyone? I know with coins like this there is a tolerance in the TPGs for this type of "circulation" but being that it is located in such a focal point, would it not receive a details grade?

Yeah that makes me wonder also. If there were more marks like those it would.

Now that you mention it, yes, the field marks do bother me.
