okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 02/04/2010 8:04 pm Wow! I'm going to say F-12 on the obverse, VG-8 on the reverse for a net VG-10. On the other hand I haven't looked at enough of this scarce type to have a good feel. Report this Post to the Staff
wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 02/04/2010 8:11 pm I'll say VG-10 also. I love the look of these early half dollars, although I've never owned one. Great coin! Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/04/2010 10:17 pm Very nice coin Moe, overall I'm going to say VG-10. Still looking to add some of these to my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 02/04/2010 10:29 pm I find myself always going back to the CCF Grading Scales in our US Coin Facts under the Navigation bar on the left. Draped Bust Half Dollar General Grading Standards AG3 Almost Good - Clear enough to identify. G4 Good - Date and letters sufficient to be readable. Main devices outlined, but lack details. VG8 Very Good - Major details discernible. Letters well formed but worn. F12 Fine - Hair ends distinguishable. Top hairlines show, but otherwise worn smooth. VF20 Very Fine - Right side of drapery slightly worn. Left side to curls is smooth. EF40 Extremely Fine - All lines in drapery on bust will show distinctly around to hair curls. AU50 About Uncirculated - Slight trace of wear on cheek, hair, and shoulder. Going from the above I say VG-10. I can't say the hair ends are distinguishable but I can see some of the top hair lines.. Just FYI: The RedBook says the 1806 Knobbed 6 with Large Stars (branch through claw on the reverse) all have traces of overdate (from 1805). I don't really see them on this example... I'll post a blow-up of the date. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/05/2010 12:22 am I'd say F12. The reverses of these seem to be weak quite often. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/05/2010 12:55 am I blow up the image to 400% but wasn't able to see the 6 over 5. However other factors point to this being O.101. What do you think SuperDave? Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 02/05/2010 04:29 am I'm going with VG-10 also. VG-8 on the reverse. To much hair detail for VG. Not enough bust detail for F-15. I agree F-12/VG-8 = VG-10 Report this Post to the Staff

Often coins will grade higher on one side vs. the other. In example, it's possible for a coin to grade G4 on its obverse, but grade VG8 on its reverse. Also, this guide is not a claim that one's coin will obtain any grade listed if submitted to a third party grading service.Images courtesy of HA.com Report this Post to the Staff
