1821 ICG AU58??

[lfortin411-migration]

All, I'm interested in purchasing this coin. It is in an ICG Slab and graded at AU58. The price the person is looking for seems to be a little low and so I'm concerned that I'm missing something. Thoughts on what it would grade and or what it is worth?

 

Thanks for the help! -Larry

Do you have pics of the Reverse?

I would give that dipped Bust Half a grade of Au 50 - Au 53

For a comparison I posted my Au 55 1821 Bust Half .

Mine looks closer to Au 58 then Au 55.

Here is a picture of the reverse.

Fortin, I would avoid that coin. It has been dipped, hence the blast white unnatural appearance. The dark black spot on the reverse is unsightly, and the coin grades probably AU-50 at max (net EF for the problems). The coin is a problem coin, and will always be a problem coin. It would need to be pretty strongly discounted off an EF price, but why buy an ugly coin when you can find a nice, original one with a bit more effort?

I dont want to judge a grade on that coin by those pics, but the blast white appearance bothers me, and every single mark on that coin will stick out like a sore thumb.

As others have stated, avoid that coin.

Don't know if I would buy this coin.

1. It's in an ICG slab. Not NGC or PCGS

2. looks dipped

3. over graded

4. light black on obverse and heavy black on reverse
