CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 08:39 am I'm at VF-details (cleaned). Around the eagle's head specifically, I think that I see hairline scratches indicative of a cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 09:26 am This coin has a poor strike, which I have seen for particular varieties in 1818. This is the 1818 O-113 R-3, with an interesting die crack from Star 7 through the headband. It most likely will straight grade, although there is an old cleaning. I give this coin a net VF-25 factoring the even wear across all surfaces and the old cleaning. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1773 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 11:24 am I'm also at VF details on this one. I've certainly seen coins with cleanings like this one in straight holders too. If straight grade I would be at VF-25. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 12:07 pm VF-25 and the old cleaning won't "details" it. Market acceptable. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5668 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 6:32 pm I'd say VF-25. Close call, but probably a market acceptable straight grade for the past cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
