1834 Capped Bust 50c - GUESS THE GRADE!

[HiHoAudio]

It is certified and was not cleaned. And the chunk out of the reverse is actually plastic spooge from the holder.

 

Guess the grade!

Large Date Small Letter, I would call it an XF 45

[coinman1794]

The correct grade would be XF40, unless the coin has nice original luster. Then it would be XF45-50, depending on its strength.

Very familiar Overton with that left wing weak where it joins the eagle's body! Nice coin, and I'd call it VF-25. I absolutely love that thick encrustation.

[physics-fan3.14]

That's a no question XF-40. On a really good day, and if the luster is there, it may be a 45.

XF-35 on the brow, ear rub and reverse condition. Beautiful example based on the pics. Very nice color and definition. I like this coin. It states it's age with elegance.

[bsshog40]

I agree with XF40

[CatsandCradles-migration]

I would guess that this is an XF? The clasp and hair above the clasp are easily seen. "Liberty" is sharp.

[L1ncolnF4n]

VF-30. It looks like someone torched it quite well.

[BillJones]

VF-30

[Mark T]

VF 35 , maybe XF 40 .

[HiHoAudio]

ANACS certified this an XF-40, and I agree. 4 or 5 people nailed it. I swear NGC should recruit from this forum. We are a smart bunch!

 

And as $ilverHawk declared, "It states it's age with elegance." Excellent observation.

 

I like this coin a lot. It came from an old coin dealer friend and that makes it even more special.

[MBA101]

Is that "New" ANACS or "Old" ANACS?

[physics-fan3.14]

The solid white implies old ANACS. New ANACS has a clear holder.

Correct, this is in an old ANACS white holder. The new holders are clear and finally fit into an NGC/PCGS case but I have a soft spot in my heart for the old ANACS mini's.

 

Or maybe it's a soft spot in my head...:smile:

[coinman23885-migration]

VF 25 - VF 30. Are you sure that it hasn't been whizzed though? The light emanating from the check and the surfaces concern me...

ANACS would have flagged it as whizzed. I think it's an honest circulated coin, and besides, I like it.

If you mean the NGC (gray plastic) or PCGS (blue plastic) slab boxes, I've found that you can use the foam inserts that are typically used for the Eagle slab pages in the slots for the old ANACS slabs.
