1803 Half for your consideration (Grade revealed)

[Raisethis2]

I just shipped this raw coin to our host for grading. Care to take a guess? Anything special I should know about?

 

 

 

Just got the results, the coin is in transit. You guys were all over the correct answer of Fine 15. Well done!!!

It looks like it is an F.

 

I'd be concerned about the green spot above UNUM (it probably isn't active, and I've seen worse in slabs, but I really don't like it).

 

I'd also be concerned about the scratches on the shield - if they think it is adjustment marks, it'll get in a slab without problem (although the value will be less); if they are post-mint damage, it shouldn't get in a problem-free slab.

Yes, a Fine -15. Most of these coins were more sharply struck that the 1806 and '07 haves. For that reason the sharpness standard is tighter.

It looks like it has enough detail to get a VF20 at a grading service. whether other problems bump it down is another story.

Thanks Dave. I thought it was a Very Fine 20 also but the consensus seems to think Fine 15. I'll be sure to post results when it gets home.
