InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 08/09/2008 11:17 pm I don't really collect these coins..(yet ) but having been around here for awhile now, and trying to pay attention a little...I am always on the lookout for Bust coinage that does not look like it was cleaned, at least not harshly. I saw this one a couple weeks ago and decided that it fit the bill. So now Bust Half experts...how am I doing ? I will post a link to one other I have purchased in the last year. Am I doing all right with my choices ? I purchased this for Greysheet F price, and I think it might be nice for the grade or even a low grade VF. No link, must be archived...have to go by just this one for now Thanks for your input ! Report this Post to the Staff

hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 08/10/2008 5:05 pm I will agree with the vf-20, and I also think bonedigger is right with it being an O-115. The diagnostics for this variety include: Obverse: Star 1 points to lower half of dentil. Stars 7, 8, and 13 all about 1/2 mm from cap and curl. Date has large figures. Reverse: A dot shows in the field below the left end of the scroll and eagle's left wing. "A" and "M" touch at base. Tiny die chip shows at right end of scroll. "N" in "UNITED" is higher than "I". Tiny dot shows just above bottom loop of "C" in "50 C", at its center. Left sides of "I" and "T" are in line. Very nice, original looking coin! Report this Post to the Staff

Now I have to find it and check the diagnostics, but it looks like you guys have it- thanks ! As the nice ones come in, they are going to come home with me ! I do like them, but for now I am working at finishing up my Walker set- two coins to go ! Report this Post to the Staff
