Some may be turned off by the facial dings, but it fits with my lower end collection. It is a little bit darker than pictured. Thoughts?   |

For the variety, I like it! These come flat and ugly, so your example has good eye appeal for the grade. If it were in my collection, I would net VF-20. If those dings were not there, I would say VF-25. That ebay seller has had some nicer raw halves. Beware on the attributions, the 1814 listed today is not a 106. Suffering from bust half fever.

To the usual suspects, thanks for the feedback!
Jacrispies, I reviewed your post from 2022 on Bust Half attribution some time ago, good stuff! I no longer buy anything without attributing it first, including this coin. I had the seller send pics out of the wrap as the listing pictures were pretty bad. I have come across a good number of coins over the last few months not attributed correctly from a number of sellers. Some of it unintended probably, but others seem to be looking for a premium price.

I agree, VF.
Errers and Varietys.

The reverse looks great. The obverse has a few marks but not too distracting. A coin without hits is like a boxer that's never been punched. Nice VF.
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."
