biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/03/2009 11:13 pm For some odd reason, I went on a Bustie buying spree at the bid board the past couple weeks. Until this point, I have only ever owned one Bust Half so I basically tripled by Bustie collection This 1824 is the first one I picked up. I had not researched it but I noticed the strong overdate and figured I couldn't go wrong so I went ahead and bid, winning it for $33. I have tentatively attributed it as an O-103(R1) 24 over various dates and graded it AG-3. Let me know what you think and if I attributed it properly although this one was pretty easy Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 08/03/2009 11:28 pm Don't know about the attribution but it's under-graded at AG3. The obverse is close to VG8 - I'd say G06 for sure. The reverse is close to G06 but I'd go G04. Overall: G06 or Good Plus in my book. Looks to be an original piece and a good buy at $33. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/06/2009 2:39 pm I don't know, I tend to agree with the AG3, G-4 a best. Rimsa re worn down too far into the letters and I don't see drawn stars so you can't blame it on late die stage. Report this Post to the Staff

The Obverse appears correct, yet the reverse is not. the 5 (of 50) top bar is in the wrong place in relation to the feathers on the arrow. Report this Post to the Staff
