Nice coin! XF40/45, but I would have to net grade it around VF35 because of the many nicks.

I'd say XF45 as well.
I bet all that chatter is a lot less noticeable in hand
Nice old coin Dave.

I think this is an AU coin, but the chatter would net it down to XF. However, if the luster is strong, AU50. I'll bet it looks nice in hand. I personally love the 30's Half Cents. They tend to have good strikes and great luster (some are even prooflike), and they are quite affordable in all grades. |

The luster is strong in hand. The chatter really doesn't distract from the overall eye appeal.
I have it at AU50. Thanks guys :-)

I would agree with EF45 to AU50, and I'm think the color is also quite appealing. I wish I could take photos like that! Per Red Book only 51000 were struck for the year 1832. A scarce coin, but the prices in the various guides do not reflect this. Why is that? |

From the information I have, per Robinson, many mint state examples are known to exist.

There was a hoard of mint state Half Cents that included this date, so more high grade survivors than the mintage numbers indicate. |

Thanks 1893S, GERMANICVS.
Yeah, the number of AU and MS examples is up there. This is one of the more obtainable dates in higher grades.
As for my photography, I shoot on a black matte cotton glove, warm led light angled just right, and an older Olympus 6 mp camera. Sometimes, I use my phone.
I'll have to share my "photostudio".
You'd have a good laugh but it works :-)
ps,
There are better photographers on the CCF ;-)
