This will be my last grading post for a while. I don't want to overdo it with whoever is paying the bills around here.

This is variety O-112a. Once again, those are all cracks, not scratches.

Look at the die cracks on that sucker! Very LDS, I'm guessing that die was on it's way out. Details look VF, but there is some obvious luster, so it may grade higher as far as overall wear is concerned.

I agree that die was on it's way out. Some luster and flow lines are definitely evident within the devices. I calling this coin a VF25. Nice!

Another beautiful and rare Bust Half, because of the worn dies on the obverse I would grade this coin at VF-35.

Zeewool!

You have some absolutely amazing coins! You say these are all from an inheritance? Someone really loved his coins and, in turn, really loved you to trust you with these when he/she was gone!!

I say you keep posting your coins! They are great! I'm not bored at all!
