muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7196 Posts	Posted 11/05/2011 1:28 pm This PCGS half is in a Genuine holder due to a staple scratch to the left of liberty's breast that is not visible in these photos. Your thoughts on the grade? Report this Post to the Staff

BrickellCat Pillar of the Community United States 558 Posts	Posted 11/05/2011 4:47 pm I would call it AU53. It is the O-111 (R1) also known as the "Child's Head". Hopefully the scratch isn't too noticeable. Report this Post to the Staff
paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 11/05/2011 5:34 pm I'm on the AU53 bandwagon also.... These are probably my favorite coins.... Each one seems to have its own character (or maybe I'm just one)..... Report this Post to the Staff
nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 11/05/2011 5:49 pm I'm thinking AU53/55. The reverse looks great! Report this Post to the Staff
jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/05/2011 6:21 pm I think its around AU and very nice! I like how detailed the eagles feet are, and the color. The bust half is one of my favorite coins, with all those different varities. Report this Post to the Staff

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7196 Posts	Posted 11/06/2011 5:07 pm Thanks for your comments guys. The reverse of this coin really is outstanding with full motto and overall detail and has brilliant luster. I have seen many of these bust halves that have one side better struck than the other and I feel the details on liberty are not as strong due to the exceptional reverse. The edge on both sides is not fully struck and shows little of the beading that is on the design. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 11/06/2011 6:08 pm A definite beauty! AU-50 at a minimum. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 11/06/2011 10:05 pm AU-55 for detail, I don't see wear for AU-50, but I do see an old wiping which may keep the grade down. Report this Post to the Staff
