XF45? AU? I don't know much about this series.

 

PS, I really like the peripheral toning (thumbs u

AU53 Star

Beautiful coin. I'll go with EF-45. I don't think the luster is there for an AU grade, and there is a tad too much wear on the feathers as well. Really nice toning on that one.

I'm at 45 as well, do they give 45 stars? If so, I'd give this a star.

I've seen a 40 star.

I would grade the obverse AU 50 and the reverse EF 40. I would probably put this coin in an EF45 holder, especially with the luster.

Yes, they do on occasion. It is very rare to get stars in the lower grades, for some reason. I own several that deserve the star.

 

I own the only EF-40* graded in the entire series, an 1821.

Do you have any pictures. I would love to see it.

XF45 and deserving of a star. Very sharp toning.

I bought this coin raw, and fell in love with it, I was a little concerned about the rub marks on the reverse, but looked like classic drawer rub to me and fit well for a 180+ year old coin. I was really surprised to get this back from NGC. I appreciate the comments, they have echoed my thoughts on the coin. So here is the results, please weigh in now that you know the grade, or lack of grade.

That's still a coin to be in love with no matter what NGC says. They get paid to pick nits.

 

Cleaned or otherwise I think the toning is outstanding and quite attractive.

I would have to see better pictures of the reverse. Its hard to tell with your pics. It is entirely possible that there could be hairlines hidden under the toning, happens all the time.

 

As for my EF-40*, here it is. It is by no means the most attractive coin I own, but its the one NGC gave a star.

XF Details.. still a nice coin

xf 40

I can see some hairline behind the hair. But who doesn't see hairlines on early halves anyway? There must be something else that caused the no grade.

 

Physics: Great 1821. Wanna sell?
