GRADE POSTED! Guess the Grade: 1814 Capped Bust half (another "pick the image")

[James_OldeTowne]

In my opinion, assigned the correct net grade, though the moderate cleaning is not called out on the slab (as is often the case). I like this coin.

VF20 with the net grade?

VF20 with the net grade?

 

Shane, did you remember to compensate for Doritos contamination? Some day, I'll get around to learning more about this series.

I would think this one graded XF-40 to 45.

IMHO--Net grade VF-20, O-104a. Shame its an a.

 

oops, forgot to pick the image--2nd obv and 2nd rev.

[jtryka]

I will guess XF-40, as for the images, I like #3 and #1

[MBA101]

It looks like an XF 40, maybe netted down to VF 30-35.

I think the coin has XF40 detail but recieved a grade of VF30.

I like these images better than the other ones you posted earlier -- exposure and lighting are both improved, in my opinion.

 

Of the images posted, I like the 2nd one the best. Although it appears to be lit from the bottom (which generally makes a coin look "odd" to my eye), it seems to portray the coin, and the luster in particular, better than the rest.

 

I have an opinion on the grade, but rather than look foolish again, I'll just keep that to myself.

 

Thanks for sharing..>Mike

The answer is:

 

NGC XF-40!

 

I agree with this grade. In hand, the coin has about 20% of the remaining luster visible, which would typically imply an EF-45 grade. Net it down a few points for the cleaning, but then net it back up a couple of points for the attractive (to me), natural retoning, and we end up at EF-40.

I would net this one at VF30 at best.
