Way outside of my experience. Very nice coin though. Nice strike on both sides.

You can't have just one  . I don't have my Overton with me at the moment so I'm not able to give you the variety. I would grade this coin at VF-30. Looks like a little damage on the breast. |

Excellent! Way way better than expected for a GSC coin. I would grade it XF-45 due to the nice amount of luster and detail despite light and even wear. Its possible it had an old dip very long ago, but its not serious enough to warrant a real 'problem'. Great buy, definitely a keeper.
The damage might be a planchet defect, I did not notice it at first. It blends in well.

Nice coin  , these are a little outside my realm, but in my opinion it looks like it has been whizzed  ... IMO of course |

I don't think its been whizzed...usually those look like they have a fake 'brilliant' luster from what I remember.
Sometimes it fools people on high AU coins : (

I agree with ShadowCreator on this coin, Looks like a strong EF-45.

Cool! So what plan should I choose?
A. Hold onto the coin as an investment
B. Return the coin to get full refund
C. Resell this coin for a proffit
D. Trade this coin with a few bucks for a 1921 commemorative missouri coin?
P.S. I really like plan D! I just don't know any good places where I can trade coins... I'm a newbie at this stuff lol... Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm...I would put it in your 7070 type set. Missouri halves are expensive, right? I would start out just trying to get stuff for your collection, the investment part can come later. It sucks the fun out of it if you try to get into 'investing' too early.

I agree with XF-45, Don't believe it has been whizzed, and my passion ius for busties so my vote would be to hang on to it.

Keep your bust half, it's a nice peice. As for the Missouri half the 2x4 are in my opinion over rated and priced. The availability of the "plain" vs the 2x4 are pretty close in what I have seen. I got a great plain Missouri on e-bay for my set.

It does look pretty good. The XF grade sounds right and it looks cleaned but doesn't look harshly cleaned.
I'd hang onto it. This is one that should re-tone more over time if left exposed.
As far as the A. through D. options? I'd vote for E. Hang onto it as a nice coin.

I'm a bust half nut so I would keep it.

I'd rather have a coin that may have once been in the pocket Thomas Jefferson!

Also, how much could I sell this coin for? If it's not much over what I paid for (180) I might aswell return it and get another coin I am interested in. It's the 1900 Lafayette dollar commemorative. It looks pretty neat!
