1819 CBH

[$ilverHawk]

Here's a fairly new CBH. What do you think she graded and what is the Overton number?

 

Credit for the photos goes to Coindude.

Looks about Au 50 to me . I like the tone.

The surfaces appear to be lackluster, but I'll still guess AU55.

AU55. I'm with Mark on this one.

The sharpness appears to be consistent with a grade of AU55, but I do not see a lot of luster here. I'll guess AU53 as a result.

Any help with the Overton number?

I can put up higher resolution pictures of whatever part of the coin needed for Overton variety purposes.

I believe it is an O-107, R4. Nice coin. I am having a hard time telling if the coin appears lackluster because you were trying to emphasize the toning (and the coin really does have good luster), or if the coin really is dull like that. If its a photo technique, I'd grade it AU-53. If the coin is dull, I'd grade it AU-50, maybe (or maybe just call it dipped and retoned, and pass).

A different photo. This one is straight on, the coin has luster, not booming but the luster was there. Jason was correct about the original photo in that it was solely my attempt to capture the color and not the luster.

Based on the new image, I would grade it AU50 instead of AU55, as there looks to be more wear on Liberty's cheek than showed previously.

AU50

Based on the new images, I would grade it AU50 instead of AU53. This is an interesting thread as it shows how much an image - even one taken by a skilled photographer - can cause a large disparity in grade appearance.

Just about nailed it.

 

This is a raw coin. It is an O-107, R4. Coin has nice luster around the Obverse and Reverse periphery and nice album toning. There is a bit of diminished luster in the fields. I do suspect and old cleaning and retoning. This coin looks better than many I have seen in TPG holders. I put the grade at AU50.

 

I bought this coin for my CBH album and it will fit in very nicely.
