Here is a new 1808 CBH: Opinions?

9 posts in this topic

That's a very high grade circulated coin that appears to have significant skin on it still. Is the color accurate?

 

It is quite accurate, actually, although there is some rainbow present when tilted under light.

I like both the 1808's you just posted. I'll go with AU-50 on this one - these early CBH's wear differently than the later ones that I am a bit more familiar with (mostly due to monetary constraints).

This one is a O-103 that resides in an AU-50 holder. I have examined this one closely, and I don't see anything hidden like cleaning hairlines or scratches under the toning, and the rainbow effect is rather pleasing on the periphery. The luster is appropriate for the grade.
