1836 Half

I am in the process of possibly purchasing this one. What do you think about grade cleaned not cleaned and the $80 price is firm. Sorry no reverse pic but a 7 day no questions asked return privelage. Thanks

Looks OK for 80 bucks to me. Hard to say if cleaned and retoned or not from those pics, but for the price, I don't think it matters that much.

I know nothing but it looks unnatural to me and seems to have a nasty ding to the neck !

I would definitely pass on this Bustie, which I doubt will satisfy the grading services. For $80 you should be able to buy an encapsulated VF.

I agree with you, Dooly. I believe I would pass on this coin due both to the damage and grade. You should be able to find a raw coin in VF for that money without damage. Good luck, however you go.

It's a very common date and I think you can do better for that money in the CBH series.

Thank you all for the responses. I will be passing on this coin as said.

I like it, and contrary to Mozin's advice, I would not generally pay $80 for a slabbed bust half, because that would be nearly a 50% unwarranted "tax" on the coin - $55 for the coin, and $25 for the slab.

 

I think the coin is acceptable, and the price is fair.
