Could you guys help me out and tell me what you think the grade is and the value of the coin? These are the best pics I could provide. This coin seems to have very shiny surfaces so I suspect it is cleaned. As with my other coins, I have my own grade which I will share as well. 1834 Capped Bust Half! Thanks for your help!

daviscfad Pillar of the Community United States 4541 Posts	Posted 06/21/2010 10:09 am i think the coin would grade higher if the reverse wasnt worn as much. the obv is probably a vf-30 IMO. but with the reverse I would probably have to say overall a VF-20 Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/21/2010 10:57 am There is a considerable difference between the obverse and reverse grade. I would grade the obverse at F-15 and the reverse at G-6, there are no lines visable on the shield. Overall I would grade this coin at VG-10 to F-12. Value @$75. Report this Post to the Staff

cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 06/21/2010 1:22 pm I think it is a F-15, may be VF but the reverse has too much wear, from the photos I would say it is original. Obv is VF and Rev VG/F so I give it a Fine. IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff
