tomtom777 Valued Member United States 243 Posts	Posted 12/01/2015 12:23 am What kind of grade would you give this Bust Half, they are really hard for me to grade currently. I see the lower rim on obverse is not there all the way and the reverse is maybe not fully struck or is it wear? Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/01/2015 02:25 am I would knock a whole grade off this one for the weak parts on the reverse, which are probably PMD. A pity, really. I rather like this coin anyhow. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 12/01/2015 03:00 am Detail appears AU+ and it may have been chemically cleaned leaving the surfaces appearing dull and lifeless. Based on these images my grade would be AU55 Details - Improperly Cleaned. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36878 Posts	Posted 12/01/2015 10:04 am AU-55. The weakness on the reverse and rim is not PMD but as struck. Hard to tell from the lighting in these photos if the coin was cleaned or not but my guess is not. Nice type coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 12/01/2015 12:43 pm AU. Obverse fields seem a little rough. Corrosion or cleaning at some point? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/01/2015 4:40 pm Agree with IGE, 55 and probably original. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18706 Posts	Posted 12/01/2015 8:50 pm AU55. the weakness on reverse is from strike. At first I thought it was cleaned but closer inspection changed my mind. If it was it was ling time ago. Nice half Report this Post to the Staff
