Dave I tried the wizard twice. I've never attempted an attribution of a Bust Dollar however that wizard was slick. I am not 100% of my end result, but I came up with

B-9

Details appear to be around VF-25.

I also gave the wizard a shot and came up with BB-166, B-9.

I agree 100% with Fenton. XF cleaned. You'll be hard pressed to find an 18th century example without ANY evidence of a past cleaning; so this detriment is minimal in my book. Simply stunning.

The color of the coin does not indicate cleaning to me.

Coindog,
What does the PCGS code indicate the reason for being a details coin?

I think the only difference between B22 and b9 is the gap between the bust and the stars. OLCoins its a 92. In hand it is very noticable. I'm so bad at taking pictures that I can make a cleaned coin look unclean ha ha. Thanks everyone for the input.

OK, I erred in my evaluation of the right star positions. The die crack after the S in STATES is diagnostic, such that someone who knew more about these than I (in other words, your average 9 year old) should be able to attribute it on sight.

Very late die state with the crack developed through AMERICA.

I initially put the grade at VF-30 but to be realistic I feel it is more of a VF-25. The scratches on the plastic and glare from the light make it hard to see clearly. Regardless of the grade I like it and it is on my "when I strike it rich" list
