1837 Capped Bust Half Dime

[murty]

Can I get some grading help on this coin.

Any additional comments more than welcome.

Thank you

I would expect to see this piece in an EF40 holder. Might be a technical 35 though.

anyone else???

This looks like it just makes typical xf40 to me. Looks like some overdate action on the 7 in the date though. Overall a better example of a bust half dime.

The coin has VF-30 sharpness and eroded surfaces, which would lower the grade a bit more. I have my doubts that this coin will get a slab because of the surfaces, especially the spots on either side of Ms. Liberty on the obverse.

VF Details, environmental damage.

I'll agree with VF details. I'm not sure that the coin has environmental damage per se (I'm not sure what to call it), but it certainly is a problem coin to me.

Bill is spot on. I still happen to like the coin given those photos.

I am not sure of where the eroded surface is; I do see the spots though.

 

What would be a fair price range for the coin?

Thank You

Eroded surfaces = A grainy look, indicating that the silver has been attacked by some sort of environmental or chemical agent that has unevenly removed some of the metal. The result is that the surfaces have a sort of “sandpaper” type look.
