I'll go with AU-55. Very nice! I'd think it would command a fairly nice premium over guide since the toning is excellent.

I agree with Joe2007 at AU55. AU58 would not surprise me....Very nice looking CBH!

Really tough to tell what is wear and what is strike weakness. My guess is AU55 and value around $1,000 assuming an AU+ problem-free grade and the nice eye appeal.

   That, now, is a NICE coin! Central striking weakness is typical for early half dollars and quarters, especially of the draped bust variety... Anyways, AU-58! Awesome coin! Edited by ChildOfTheWheat

I am at AU 55. looks like wear on the bust and curl above her forehead. On reverse it looks like slight wear on top of eagles head. The toning on this is spectacular. I would be a buyer all day for this if I had the money. Great pickup.

BH1964 is right - it is hard to differentiate between weak strike and wear on this particular coin. But I think the wear on the bust is the giveaway - it is not near the center where most strike weakness would be, but near the rim.
My thought is AU-53 going by the apparent wear. However, since eye-appeal and luster are part of an AU grade, I'd venture as high as AU-55, as this coin really does have both.
I normally don't go for toned coins, but this one is beautiful, more so than the pictures reveal. I told TypeCoin that if he didn't buy it, I would have!

And the result is:   So, do you agree with PCGS? Everyone at my Coin Club, including Bill Fivaz, disagreed with PCGS and called the toning natural. |
