Hi all, Pretty worn but still 3 legs with the stream. Give a grade if you like.   |

 VF-30 was my first thought. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves. |

First, Notice four interesting features of this coin.  The third feather is not yet completely severed, and the Indian's neck shows the clash with the buffalo's back. The second feather / buffalo's head die clash is plainly visible as a spike from the head to the "U" in UNITED. The Indian's hairline / ground level clash is plainly visible on the obverse. The "LI" of LIBERTY / buffalo's right rear leg clash still shows a weak impression of the hoof between the "L" and "I" of LIBERTY. This is a great example of the die variety before the final die polishing severed the third feather, obliterated the other clash marks, and abraded more of the detail on the buffalo's head and back. I'm at VF-35 here. Much of the loss of detail is due to the die polishing. Absolutely great coin! EDIT: I think this one very well could snag a bean. Edited by fortcollins

Thanks for the informative post fortcollins. Nice coin OP.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

@fortcollins, thank you for those details! Do you think this should be sent in for grading, to include varieties you mention?
