Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6387 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 12:20 am I needed a decent Capped Bust Half Dime for my type set and this one looked better than average. How would you call the grade? Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 12:58 am There is definitely wear on the front of the cap and the curls. On the reverse it looks like only the high feathers have wear, but there are a couple of nasty scratches. I'm trying to imagine it life sized in hand and I just can't get there - they will either fade out and I'd go XF45 or they're going to knock it to details. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 01:18 am I'm going AU50 on this one. The strike is quite good for a Half Dime and the ICG holder won't hurt a bit once it's cracked out. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 8:44 pm EF40, but AU50 wouldn't surprise me a bit from ICG. Edited by edweather 06/12/2015 9:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6387 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 01:31 am ICG called it AU-50 which I think is fine for detail level. Luster is perhaps a bit weak which could be from over-dipping. In-hand there are no serious scratches or marks. Overall it's a presentable type coin that was reasonably priced.

razorblaydejr Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 09:10 am I would grade it XF 45 in my collection. I'm not the best at judging these types of things, but I do think it probably has an old cleaning on it. Even if it does, it has plenty of eye appeal and I would be happy to have it in my collection. Nice snag! Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 11:12 am Using Photograde, I started in the AU range and worked down the grading scale. I was in the AU-50 to 53 range for this before I saw you had posted the ICG grade. -MV Report this Post to the Staff
