FUN Purchase # 1: 1808 Bustie

[MBA101]

Let's keep things FUN around here today!

 

As you may remember from my recent 1818 post, I love Busties that look as if they have been through the battle with time and have made it, with all the resultant scars and what not. This one is no exception. Will reveal grade and Overton later for those who want to guess:

A gorgeous coin that should grade VF-30 or better.

[123cents]

I would think VF-35 to XF-40. It depends on when it was graded.

Look's VF-30 to me great coin

[okbustchaser]

Nice XF although it may have been silently net-graded to VF-30 or so for the scratches.

[James_OldeTowne]

Yep, my thinking as well.

[MikeInFL]

Very nice Dave...Mike

[MikeInFL]

p.s. VF 35 is my guess

[CoinAddict]

[rrantique]

Nice looking Bustie, Dave, and an 1808 to boot!

Will gradually roll out grades one by one. It is obvious that the older dates grab more attention, which is how I like 'em myself. Anyway, this one is in a PCGS holder graded XF 40.. Going by strike characteristics and the number of marks, this has '45 details so I tend to agree. The large pics tend to exaggerate. This is a scarce O-108 variety.

Another beauty, and I would agree with the XF grade on this one, a sweet date/variety as well!
