As asked I'm posting all my inherited coins as separate threads for grading. Also, I'm not a coin collector, so it would be helpful if I could get a dollar amount estimate to go along with the grade.   |

The 1807 Capped Bust half dollar is the more common large stars variety and also grades about vf30 with a weak strike on the eagle. The bust half is worth about $1,000. Also very original and in demand by collectors. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I'll say VF-30, nice and original but eye appeal not as nice as most of your coins.

This is the most common variety for the 1807 Bust Halves, the O-112. This variety is rated at an R-1, which is 1000+ known examples. This rim bump on the reverse and the weak strike hurt this coin's value, but it still has great eye appeal. I'd put a value of about $600 on this coin. VF-30

VF-30 straight grade. I'd say $700-900. The 1807 is the first year for the type. Always a little more difficult to find and the price always reflects it. I have 3 and only one rivals this one.

VF20. Of the disadvantages, only the damaged edge.

I can't get a good feel for the obverse strike and wear from this picture. The reverse rim ding at 9:00 is noticeable, but the coin should still straight grade. It's in the VF range, but I can't get a good enough feel to offer a specific grade here,
