This date is difficult to find. Coin looks better in hand. Thanks for looking!   |

VF-30. Looks uncleaned and natural.
If all those little white specs are inside the 2x2 I'd recommend you blow them off the coin and beholder in a container without that paper "dust".

Not sure about the surfaces, always hard to determine when photographed through an old 2x2. The areas around "OF" might be tell-tale of a cleaning.
VF-30 sounds reasonable.

i have it between VF25 and 30. I can see it going either way but I'm leaning toward 25

Before I took pics of this coin, I though it was in the EF range. As soon as I posted the pics I realized it wasn't EF. I agree with the VF-30. The holder and lighting altered the color a bit. It appears to be completely original to my eye. Anybody else out there have an 1850 Half Cent? Curious if anyone else has had a hard time finding one like I have. I think this might be an under rated coin. DemNd probably isn't very high for this coin, but still seems under rated IMO. Last I checked there were only 3 examples available on the Bay. |

A certain EAC member (not me) is well-known as a buyer of this particular date and likes to buy any that show up for sale.
