1836 lettered edge Bustie

I hit a brick wall with the Franklin's, so I decided to take a little break and buy this instead. Guess the grade and O# Should be an easy one.

Don't know Overtons on these Jason, but looks like a nice EF40.

O-105, R.4. Nice XF40.

I agree. O-105 and XF-40.

Yup, y'all hit it perfectly. PCGS EF-40, and a nice one at that. I've looked at many of these 1836 halves, and this is the first one I've seen that was attractive, original, and had that look I was going for. Most of the halves of this date seem dipped, ugly, spotty, weakly struck, ugly, or otherwise unattractive. I am very pleased to add this R4 to my collection.

I would have graded it VF-30. The wear is really obvious on this one. Too much wear to make EF-40 IMO.

Got this one in the mail today, and its even more gorgeous than I was expecting. JJ Teaparty is a great dealer, I highly recommend them.

Nice one. Have not ventured into this area in a while...

 

That coin is a prime example of what both services have been grading as an 40's from what I have been seeing.
