johnny676767 Valued Member United States 444 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 9:45 pm Hello, Which of these do you like better? Both grading in at VF 30 by ANACS. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1809-50C-C...46890.l49292 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1809-Cappe...46890.l49292 Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4449 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 10:03 pm Definitely coin #1 judging by the reverse detail, but one caveat is the lighting isn't great in those photos, the surfaces likely look closer to coin #2 in hand Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 54799 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 10:03 pm Much prefer the second one. Reverse looks cleaned on the first, hard to believe it straight-graded. Report this Post to the Staff
PNWType Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 10:07 pm I prefer the first coin, as mentioned the reverse detail is better. I don't personally see any signs of cleaning, but I may easily be wrong. I also don't care for the black spotting on the bust of the second coin Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community United States 1349 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 10:29 pm #1. A bit dark but that weakly struck wing area on #2 is distracting to the overall look. Report this Post to the Staff
Ploopy Pillar of the Community United States 1495 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 10:32 pm #1 is IMO lightly cleaned, and the lighting isn't that good as well. personally I really like the surfaces on #2, nice and original. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 2826 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 10:54 pm They both look original to me, but I like the look of the second one better. Another advantage of the second one is that it's an O-102 or O-102a variety, which means it might be an XXX edge. But you won't know for sure unless you crack it out of the slab.

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 1993 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 11:22 pm I'll have to side with #2 slightly over #1. I don't find the old cleaning on #1 to be a dealbreaker, but I'm also not a big fan of the weak reverse on #2. Coin #3 is always an option My AU-MS Buffalo Ni.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 3994 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 12:30 am coin #3 For straight eye appeal, personally I would go #1 but I'm not in the market for one. If it's not hockey, it's not a sport Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5152 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 10:09 am Find someone who knows about half dollar varieties. There definitely are varieties and maybe one is better than the other with respect to that. Describe it as if there were no picture. Picture it as if there were no description.
