$95. This is the first year of the Draped Bust Half Cent design and a respite from the endless 1804s that I encounter every day. Thoughts? Thanks!    |

Agree G-06, but are you seriously buying coins from pics like this? Without the true color?

Are you seriously asking me for the 2,000th time? Yes. I buy coins based on pictures where I can't even see the coin except through a unfocused haze. Seller's pics in this instance are razor sharp compared to what I'm usually looking at in terms of presentation. I think this is better than g6. There is significant detail in the hair and I think it is on the high end of vg, almost at fine, but maybe not quite there. Color, I expect, will be more brown than what is presented here - but who knows. |

On second thought, I think it makes fine. Even at F12 I am not seeing any hair or hairbow detail in the photograde progression. PCGS G06 plate coin  PCGS VG10 plate coin  PCGS F12 plate coin  Edited by numismatic student

No less than 8, F12 is definitely possible

Me thinks VG-10, not the 'sharpest' VG-10 in the shed, but a VG-10 nonetheless. Good looking

Solid VG-10 but not sure it will stretch out to F-12.

I think the "mushy" look will keep it from a 12. I'll go with a 10.

I took the liberty of enhancing the seller photos just a little bit to show the detail.   In my opinion, compared to the PCGS F-12 example Numismatic-student's example does have lesser detail, however the PCGS F-12 example does also seem to have unnatural colouration from what was likely an "old" cleaning, whereas numismatic-student's example looks more natural. |

Even with "enhanced" photos, I'm still at VG-10.
