1834 capped bust half dollar. Does this appear ok and Isn’t cleaned? 1 1

[Mr.Bill347]

I am considering purchasing this 1834 Capped Bust half dollar. Do you guys think it would be worth spending $100 on. Has it been cleaned,or anything that would make it undesirable? Cant see edge lettering in pictures. Reverse and obverse appears offset too.

And this one? And 1833

I don’t know all that much about these coins and this is only my opinion, but just from comparing the two coins I see a few differences. I understand they are two different years, but I wouldn’t think there would be that many areas that differ from each other. I could be wrong.

I would steer clear of the 1833 for sure, it has been holed and plugged.

In my opinion neither looks remotely original or attractive and I personally would not purchase them for any amount over their silver value.

If you go to a coin show, or check the on-line listings of major coin dealers, I suspect you can find much nicer bust halves for $100. The 1833 is a cull and worth little more than melt.

Patience.

The '34 does look like it may have been cleaned, and the '33 has been holed and plugged. I would pass on both at $100. I would, however give $40 for the '34, and carry it as a pocket piece for a while, but that is just me.
