1826 Capped Bust Half Dollar

for me the capped busts are right up there with buffalos in challenges when it come to grading. I'm still working on how TPG's assess strike on these as some are considerably worse than others.

I'm not 100% certain that the surfaces are original. could be the photos or maybe the way the coin was stored over the years where the environment interacted with the metal

something is going on at obv. maybe an overdate as well as all kind of metal issues around the stars. there are over 20 varieties this year

I'm at XF45. possible details (altered surfaces)

It looks like it has mid-AU sharpness, but with the lack of luster, I'd say AU-50, possibly with an old cleaning. It's an O-109.

I agree with IGE. EF details, environmental damage
