I think this is one of the most difficult series to nail down the grade. almost always you see disparity in wear and/or strike on both sides. do you net the grade? do you go with the obv? do you go with the strongest side? tip for newbies...unless you study these seriously its probably best to not purchase them unless they are slabbed. this one I see the obv as VG10. reverse F15 so i'll net it at F12 Report this Post to the Staff

I will have to politely disagree with you on this tip. I see many CBHs graded incorrectly all of the time by major TPGs. Edgar E. Souders wrote in Bust Half Fever and I quote, "Do not pay for someone else's opinion. If you cannot confidently grade Capped Bust halves - don't buy them." This is a demonstration to the importance of your personal ability to grade CBHs. It would be better for you to entirely avoid the series than to place your trust in someone else's grading opinion.
