FUN Purchase # 2 1811 CBH

[MBA101]

This one is now up there on my list of top 10 busties in my collection. Will advise on grade and overton later, but this is one nice original CBH!

As well it should be. That is a NICE coin!

WHOA !

 

FABULOUS EF-40 at least, and I'd probably be at EF-45!

 

They don't make 'em like that anymore.

I would think about AU-50.

Like this one even more than coin #1. Excellent Dave!

p.s. looks like a choice XF 45 to me, but wouldn't be surprised if it graded higher either given the overall quality of this coin.

It's absolutely gorgeous and has terrific die clashes and great luster, too!

[MikeKing]

this is an effin (excuse the language) gorgeous large 8, unusual to find them this nice, at least XF45 from the pictures.

Looks like this one is a hands down winner with you guys. I agree. I thought when I bid on it that I was stretching to the point of way overpaying. As it turns out, I underpaid. Funny how it goes. The toning on this coin is very heavy, and the luster is very subdued. Strangely, it appears that somehow the luster toned completely different than the rest of the coin, so that you can actually see it all with out problem. Thing is, there is no "shimmer" because of the toning. Be that as it may, this is in an ANACS small holder graded as an XF-45. This coin appears to have AU wear to it. And traces of luster are still seen in the fields. I would say it can go either way, but this is one coin that the grade really does not matter one bit if you have the right people bidding on it.

 

What I like even more is that it is an IDS for O-103 (Large 8) that has an R3 rating overall. The obverse crack only goes from the edge to the tip of the 1 and is barely visible. You may go here for comparison if interested in seeing pics of more 1811 O-103's. http://coinzip.proboards79.com/index.cgi?board=1811b

 

I had bid on one of these O-103's last Summer in the Sheridan Downey MBS 33:

NGC-55

 

And lost by a whole lot. I would say that this coin is at least almost as good, and only 1/3 the price.

Awesome coin! Definite XF, but I could see it as an AU any day of the week.

I love the clashes on your 1811.......Great coin, I wish it was mine
