Hi, Everyone

 

I haven't placed anything on the forum in a while. So here is a recent addition of an 1839-O to my Capped Bust Half collection. If you would like to grade it, please do or just comment on it be my guest. I showed it to Osburn and he graded it...

 

I'll let everyone know his opinion and grade later.

AU-58 (+ Lipstick) (thumbs u

 

Al the reason i said Lipstick is the red around TED on rev UNITED.

[ibyandsellsmith]

She's got some nice die crack action going on.

Love it, looks original which makes it a tough one to acquire. If it is AU58 it is +++++++, because it appears original and not cleaned. Again I love it, I own a NGC AU58 that was definitely cleaned because it is bright white, so when I see yours I am very jealous, and mine set me back some if you know what I mean.

One of my favorite dates out of all US Federal coinage! It's a nice Ch AU.

The 1839-O Bust Half is also one of my favorites as well. Nice coin !!

 

Although I don't think it'll get an AU 58 ... a touch too much rub...

its a very choice AU 55.

 

Congratulations and thanks for posting its image !

My guess is AU-50. This is a great coin for a type set, in my opinion, as it brings a lot more to the table than just a generic 1837 or 1838, yet it isn't so rare that the cost is out of sight. Great coin!

[bsshog40]

Nice CBH there Al. I agree with James here as to AU50

[123cents]

Very nice. I would guess AU-53.

[shirohniichan]

Cool coin and date.

 

Am I seeing things, or is it struck from clashed dies?

[Arizonadesertrat]

AU55, and it could go higher (depending on the amount of luster underneath the toning).

Very nice, and the die cracks (especially through the digits in the date) are great.

[SkyMan]

Nice looking coin! 53-55.

[Hoot]

Fabulous coin Al! I'll bet it's many times better in person.

Hi, Everyone

 

Thank you for your comments on my newest addition to my DANSCO Capped Bust Half albums. I know it is very hard to grade coins from pictures and scans. Most of you thought the coin was a strong AU, as did I! (thumbs u

I bought this raw coin graded as XF/AU for XF money, and I showed it to Osburn at an Long Beach Coin Expo earlier this year. He liked the look and stated it was a strong XF perhaps AU. Looking at the coin with a 10X magnifying glass he thought it may have had a slight dip many years ago but otherwise he really liked it.

I thought it was a strong AU, with many die cracks on both sides of the coin, and just right for my collection!

Very nice bustie.

[CarolinaCollector]

Super Bustie! I love the obverse mint mark.

 

Well worth AU $$$$.
