llmyr71 Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 03/11/2013 12:42 am My reply to your 1835 Capped Bust half dollar would be that it would be probably a VF, EF condition. Anywhere from 120 to 175 according to Coin World. I would say nice job. Report this Post to the Staff
supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 03/11/2013 03:54 am Hard to tell from these pics, but it seems that the coin is bent a bit (just above the TE of STATES). Details are mid VF. If the reverse really took a hit there, it is probably more like a 50$ coin, otherwise you did fine, but in any case I can't see this coin going for more than a single 100$ bill.

Andrew289 Valued Member United States 470 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 8:39 pm Curious though. Why did you buy it if you don't know what it grades or how much it's worth? Report this Post to the Staff

skyshark124 Pillar of the Community United States 1109 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 9:14 pm I think you got a good deal, but ultimately if you're happy with the expense, that's the key. Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 9:29 pm Mid-range VF in my opinion. Hard to tell from the photos but I'm thinking this coin has had a light cleaning. With that in mind I would put the value at $60 plus or minus a little bit depending on the eye appeal and how much the cleaning stands out in hand.
