1826 & 1832 Capped Bust Halves

6 posts in this topic

I got these coins a couple weeks ago and I just wanted to see what others thought about a possible grade. I have my thoughts, but let's hear what you all think about these! If anyone could also provide me with the Overton #'s, that would be helpful as well. Thanks!

The 1826 is an O-116. I'd say XF. The irregular coloration of the fields bothers me a bit. The rim ding on the Reverse is borderline acceptable. I lean toward a details grade.

 

The 1832 is an O-111. AU details. The Reverse shows hairlines from an abrasive cleaning as well as some corrosion spots.

I agree with XF details on the 26' and AU details on the 32', but I think the 26' might squeeze into a problem free holder on a good day.

I like the 26 better, a more uniform look, love the silvery grey. The 32 has more meat, just not a big fan of the inconsistent look. XF on the 26 and AU on the 32, what degree of XF and AU, up to the graders. Nice job with the images.
