1835 Capped Bust Half For Grade

I don't see any signs of wear, but the apparent roller marks on the obverse may limit it to MS-62.

Thanks everyone. NGC does have it as a 64. I was thinking a bit higher, but I'm of course biased as the owner. The roller marks don't seem to have been a factor. The bronze color is stunning in person...it quickly became my favorite of the coins I own.

I like it as a 64. Beautiful piece.

Are you considering PCGS based solely on the fact of resale?
Do you plan on selling your favorite coin?
Curious...?
She's a beauty!

Keep it in that holder.
A buyer for that half would look at coin first, and the TPG's opinion second.

its a beautiful coin. I have it at MS64. love the strike and eye appeal. I dont think PCGS would go any higher so I dont see any reason to break it out.

Just to respond to a few things. I do plan to follow Coinfrog's (and others) advice and leave well enough alone. Although I prefer it to be in a PCGS slab, I wouldn't do it unless there was a reasonable shot at 65. The NGC slab is in great condition and I see no particular reason to break it out.

I am open to selling it because I want to focus more on some higher-dollar pre-1800 coins, but I don't specifically have it for sale and I am in no hurry to get rid ot it. It would take a really strong offer and/or the appearance of a pre-1800 dollar or half that I think I'd like better. Even then, the bronze appearance of this one is so striking that it would be really hard to let it go.

I would lean towards leaving the coin in the NGC holder but seeking a CAC sticker on it. If it passes the price just a lot.
