I was very happy when I saw this in hand, albeit the obverse pics seem to escape me.

I haven't been very good and guessing Overton numbers, but I'm going to give it a type anyway. I beleive this is O.110, I would grade this coin at EF-45. very nice coin wish I had it in my collection.

Oh, that is a spectacular coin. Older PCGS slab (I see scratches), so it's original surfaces. O-108, easily attributed by the relationship between the point of the star and the L - that's by far the highest that point aims on the stroke of the L - and the missing right serif of the F on the reverse.

Heritage has never auctioned a PCGS-slabbed example of this variety, and although 1 Mint State example is known, the highest-graded example they've auctioned is an NGC AU58.

This one is known for mushy strikes. I'm thinking XF45 at least, darn near a Condition Census coin, and value rather into 4 figures. This is the Coin of the Week right here.

SuperDave,
You sure hit the nail on the head. PCGS XF 40 O-108. Heritage has only sold 11 examples from 2009 back to 2003, none in a PCGS holder or with the eye appeal this piece has.
The 4 figure price seemed out of reason untill the above was considered.

Rest in Peace

That is a crusty colorful beautiful exquisitly toned draped bust half. Definitely worth 4 figures.

That's a beauty CCya. You sure are building a spectacular set of coins. This one looks very solid for the assigned grade and it could easily have been awarded an XF-45. Congratulations!

Definitely worth an XF grade! Georgius coin. I hope to purchase one for my collection in the future, will probably be in the distant future.

That is one outstanding coin. A true beauty. Really gives you the impression of why they designed them that way.
