johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 05/15/2010 5:39 pm I would grade it at G-4. Absolute perfection for the grade imo, and should sell at a premium because of the quality surfaces! Great purchase! Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 05/15/2010 8:31 pm Just for review: Draped Bust Half Cent General Grading Standards AG3 About Good - Clear enough to identify. G4 Good - Bust outline clear, few details, date readable. Reverse lettering worn and incomplete. VG8 Very Good - Some drapery shows. Date and legends complete. F12 Fine - Shoulder drapery and hair over brow worn smooth. VF20 Very Fine - Only slight wear in above areas. Slight wear on reverse. EF40 Extremely Fine - Light wear on highest parts of head and wreath. AU50 About Uncirculated - Wear slight on the hair above forehead. This is perfect example of G-4. A great example with NO corrosion or pitting! Nice one! Edited by Moe145 05/15/2010 8:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 05/15/2010 10:20 pm I'd call it G-4+ because the reverse is considerably strong for the grade Report this Post to the Staff

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 05/16/2010 09:06 am Agree with it being an outstanding example of Good. The reverse and obverse altogether, push it to the uppermost limits of Good in my opinion...allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllmost into VG. After all; it is an 1808 Edited by j_h_s 05/16/2010 09:07 am Report this Post to the Staff

JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 05/16/2010 11:25 am Absolutely a beautiful G-4 coin. I would pay VG money for it in a heartbeat. I wonder if the tall 8 touching the bust adds any value? Report this Post to the Staff
