Picked her up at a pretty decent employee discount

I'm gonna be on the conservative side and say VF-35, but it really could go either way.

EDIT: gah! these pictures! they're so tiny! I'll see what I can do about getting bigger images, they don't really show the detail that's actually there

EDIT #2: I'm trying here, lets see if these work

Obverse looks VF30. Reverse VF35. Surfaces do not look altered which is hard to find. Nice pickup

I could see it going VF30. VF25 would be the conservative grade IMHO. It is a nice looking piece.

Huh, very interesting, my boss called it a VF/EF slider, and a friend of mine also called it an EF, I personally agreed with it being a slider.

Either way, It's still a pretty good purchase at $85

I could see it just making VF-35 but I don't think it would go any higher.

I have been looking for a capped bust Half for a long time at a resonable price. They just don't seem to come that reasonably priced in Australia.
British George 1V half crowns easier to obtain at that price and condition, than their American counterpart of the same period.

also that in this case, $85 well spent.

Are you working at a coin shop? If so are there any interesting stories you can share with us? Insights from someone behind the counter would be invaluable.
