in the style of TypeCoin

Terrible seller pictures. Overexposed and out of focus. Coin did not attract much bidding, so maybe this is only "nerf gun roulette."

How would you grade this 1834 CBH from the seller pictures?

I'll post in-hand pictures in a couple of days, and we'll see if the grade changes or stays the same, and if I got lucky or ate the nerf bullet in the face.

These pictures aren't as bad.

I see F-15 as far as details are concerned. There is a scratch in the middle of the shield, and I think the coin has been cleaned, but has since retoned.

I think you did well if you paid less than $40-50.

A tick above $30, shipped, only 3 people bid and the auction ended at 2 am my time so that didn't help either.

Agree with Fine details but will probably have decent eye appeal when you get it as it doesn't look harshly cleaned and looks to have since retoned. Nice buy at $30 in my opinion.
Rest in Peace

F15 is my guess. I think it's original surfaces? Can't see anything that says cleaned to me.
