I just got this one and freed it from its ICG slab. Just in time for the upcoming 41 Days of Seated Liberty half dollars!

What grade do you think ICG gave this 1852 Seated Liberty half dollar?

(I kind of like this one!)


Thanks for looking!

I think that would be an MS-62. If there is any wear, I don't see it, but that hit in the field might keep it from going higher.

AU58 would be my guess?

I will guess they gave it MS details, cleaned. Problem coin or not, that is something that I would be proud of to own!
Rest in Peace

I wouldn't mind owning this one even w/ a details grade. Alot of these old coins have had some type of wiping/cleaning/polishing. I would grade it at high AU - MS60.

Let us know how we did.

What an absolutely beautiful addition to your seated half set. At first glance it looked ms to me but now I may see some slight abrasions on her knee. I will call it AU 58 from the photo. Tremendous detail and eye appeal, she is stunning.

AU58 for a touch of wear on the tops of the wing tips and Liberty's hair. Really nice 4-bits!

Could be AU58 but I think I will go out on a limb and say that it is a MS60 or even a 61. Very light cleaning but market acceptable, I don't think it would get a detals grade. Hard to find date for the series makes me want to drool.

Cleaned UNC Details if ICG puts a numerical grade on details holdered coins I think MS62

No wear that I see but luster is very weak and diffuse in these images. I would assume the coin has been over-dipped and luster is degraded as a result. MS details, cleaned/dipped would be my opinion.
This date is very hard to find and you have a beauty, despite the possible impairment. Congrats!

And the answer is:......




1852-Seated-Liberty-Half-Dollar-For-Grading 1852-Seated-Liberty-Half-Dollar-For-Grading


(IMO, I think it might have been slightly undergraded).



Thanks to all that played!

I thought it would grade higher. Maybe a little cleaning but what does a true MS look like?
