Hi guys! Thinking of picking this up. Pretty pleasing aside from that nasty reverse rim ding. I'd appreciate any thoughts as to a grade. Thanks!   Edited by bjcMD

The sharpness grade is AU, but that rim ding is a killer. These coins come nice, and they are not the easiest coins to resell because of low collector interest. My advice would be to pass. You will find a better one without the problem, especially for the type.
The two toughest dates, after the Proof only dates, which are very hard to find, are the 1849 large date and the 1850.

I agree...beautiful Half Cent until I see the rim ding. Unless it is being offered for a ridiculously good price I would pass. AU-Details |

AU-58 details. A good price is $150 or less.

I would pass - worried about resale difficulty given the gouge.

AU details, reverse rim damage. That said, a somewhat exceptional looking coin so if you don't mind the damage in a non-focal area try to grab it at a discount.

Personally, the rest of the coin is so attractive that the rim ding wouldn't bother me so much if I had it in an album. Of course, if I got it for the right price...

AU - Damaged. For the right price I would give it a home.

AU Details, I would wait for a better example, unless I could "steal" it for a resale
