I'm going to say F-12, though there might just be enough detail on the drapery and hair to bring it to F-15.
Rest in Peace

F-15 looks about right, doesn't look like a copy to me. Is it bent at all? I got that impression from the reverse picture.

I don't have it, I am considering buying it, I don't think it is bent, I think it is an optical illusion from the die crack and the shade at the bottom from the light angle.
Thanks.

Seems to have Fine details but is likely a problem coin. So many of these are corroded/cleaned.

I would only buy it if it was well under $100.

It is about $65.00 total

There are a couple nice classic heads I am looking at on ebay for around $85.00 in XF but I don't want a cleaned one.
If the one I like is cleaned, it's a pretty good job.

I like both of these coins. I might buy them both because I can't decide. LOL

( unless somebody sees my post and buys them for themselves, which would make the decision easy and I wouldn't mind or blame ya. )

That would be a good price.


P.S. I am not trying to slam any of your coins but wanted you to be aware of possible issues. If you can buy coins well under market price for the grade, it's often worth the risks.

I think you are only trying to help bherring1964, and your comments are most welcome.
Now to decide, 1 o 2 or which.

LATE EDIT: I bought the 1806 Half Cent for $65.00 shipped. Ya know, when a coin keeps screaming at you, you know it's the one you should get.
I asked the seller if it was corroded or bent etc.

The reply was ..

The coin is Not bent. I see no corrosion or pitting. Looks original to me.
If there was a cleaning it would have had to been done ages ago. I do my
best to describe any problems in my descriptions. Thanks for your interest.
