CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 6:10 pm Here's another 1808 Capped Bust half dollar that I recently acquired. This is one that I won't end up keeping in my collection due to the cleaning. Instead, I'll likely sell it at a small booth that I run or to another interested collector/seller in my area. Still, before I sell it, I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on the grade of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 6:50 pm Hard to tell if there is any real wear as the cleaning is in the same area. AU-55 details coin. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 7:13 pm AU details, harshly cleaned. Might have even been MS before they applied the wire brush or whatever was used to try to remove toning. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 8:43 pm AU-55 Cleaned The O-104 is usually seen in lower grades, weaker strikes, and with problems. This coin has a very good strike for the issue and the EDS would make it even more desirable. Would've been big money if it wasn't for the cleaning... Suffering from bust half fever.

psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1758 Posts	Posted 09/10/2022 8:03 pm AU-55 details but would drop it lower due to the harshness of the cleaning. Too bad, looks like it was nice. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 09/10/2022 8:08 pm I'm thinking UNC details cleaned. I don't see any wear beyond the obvious cleaning and polishing marks. Whoever did that really ruined a pretty nice coin. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
