cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 09/17/2009 8:11 pm I just got this coin for my U.S. type set. What do you think it graded from the pics? It has some reddish/ greenish toning both on obv. and rev. I also posted this coin on my Type Set Thread. Report this Post to the Staff

busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 09/18/2009 12:41 am I would say AU-55 Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 09/18/2009 01:16 am I agree it's an AU, probably AU-53. The relative lack of luster I think precludes a higher grade. The hair detail is excellent but the obverse stars and Miss Liberty's bust show strike weakness which is common for Reeded Edge bust halves. The surfaces look original and the coin has a lot of appeal. You found a very nice example for your set! Report this Post to the Staff
cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 09/18/2009 9:55 pm Here's the coin... You guys were pretty much dead on. This is the sellers photo which shows more of the luster. This is my first reeded edge bust half. What do you think this coins value would be? Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 09/19/2009 12:25 pm Wow, it went up. My 2009 says $400 in AU-50. Nice coin. I especially like the obverse strike! Wanna trade? mine has COLOR!(Never mind the fact that it is overdipped and probably wouldn't make XF) Report this Post to the Staff
cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 09/19/2009 12:59 pm Johnny- Very tempting...I will have to think about it Mine has some nice reddish toning that doesn't show very well in the pics... It is crazy how much the price guides differ for the same coin 2009 Red Book-Au50-$400 MS60-$1,100 2010 Red Book- AU50-$475 Numismedia Current- AU50-$420, AU-53-$528, AU-55-$600, MS-60 $1,310 July 2009 Coin Values- AU50-$600 AU-58-$1,500 ... Presumably the coin is worth somewhere between $400- $1,500 Report this Post to the Staff
