I've found this.I need a reeded edge half. It looks appealing except for the dark yellow stuff and rim bumps. I this a good piece?

I like it, but there are caveats. The seller's record is good, but the images aren't great for depicting the surface correctly even though they're sharp. I cannot be sure about the surfaces even though my leaning is optimistic.

It's barely worn, very close to AU58. Note there's 7 days left in an absolute auction. I expect this coin to hammer around $500 and anyone who thinks it's Mint State is likely to double that. Are you willing to risk that much?
Rest in Peace

Very nice piece. was cleaned at one time but no biggie ,most of them were. IMO AU-58. be careful of the 7 remaining days. good luck.

I bought an 1810 CBH a year ago from this seller and I was happy with the results.

I agree with this coin having been cleaned in the past. I also agree this coin is a great example of the type. I see nice details with just a touch of wear/minor nicks. Easily an AU-55+ coin.

I would wait until much closer to the end to see if the price is what you want to spend.

Good luck!

It's gone up $2 since my last post.

Ain't gonna stay there, though. I bet this one gets very busy indeed in the last 30 seconds. In fact, I won't be surprised if it moons.

Yes, This is really a good piece. However, the yellow stains around the coin is annoying. Just saying.
