Please review this 1808 Half Cent for grade and any possible issues.

Lucas & Travis are usually very honest in their descriptions -- what you see is what you get. Most of the issues are already detailed in the listing. It's a presentable hole filler although the rim bump is a noticeable distraction, at least to me.

Nice coin. I'd be at G-6 and the only real issue is the rim bump which at this grade level doesn't mean much.

obverse VG8, reverse VG10. I tend to grade a little more lenient on the old coppers. the coin has been cleaned at some point and the rim has some damage so it would warrant a details designation.

the coin is priced at full retail for a VG8 coin and in my opinion way overpriced for the issues. personally if was purchasing it as a filler or place holder I wouldnt pay more than $30-$35

I think it makes VG-08. Nice example.
