New, Cracked out of NGC slab. Decent Cartwheel luster. [URL="https://imageshack.com/i/n8xjsrj]  [/URL] [URL="https://imageshack.com/i/5h4fz0j]  [/URL] Old raw, no luster but still well detailed. The upgrade didn't give me much more detail, but the surfaces and luster are much better imho [URL="https://imageshack.com/i/nmo0tjj]  [/URL] [URL="https://imageshack.com/i/goxvkaj]  [/URL] Edited by johnny54321 01/23/2014 9:29 pm

The 1835 is very nice, indeed.
I recently owned one that was quite obviously recolored to hide some old corrosion. Sadly, it was a high AU otherwise. I just traded it to a dealer this past weekend.

1835: I'd go AU-55 although there's a chance this one got to AU-58.
1834: I will say AU-50 although a little on the fence between that and AU-53.
They both look great for their advanced age!

I think the 1835 is knwon for a weak strike, the break in the "L" in Liberty is a known die variety in this coin. Many of these have die cracks and clashed, but I don't see any in your coin.

Looks like I need to brush up on my Half Cent Grading Skills.  Either way, it's a nice upgrade!

Congratsu Fayette1800, you got it right. AU-58! I would have graded the old one probably a 45, if it had more luster it would make a 50. thanks for all of your guesses!
