A Seated Half that goes well with my Neon Bust Half!

[AnkurJ]

Wouldn't you say?

 

[physics-fan3.14]

Unless it looks vastly different in hand, this is no where near the same league as your bust half. That reverse is way too dark. There are some interesting and unusual colors, yes, and this coin appears to be attractive (if dark). But that Bust half is something truly remarkable.

[newprepper]

Such a show off.....if I had coins like that I'd show them too

[James_OldeTowne]

Unless the coin has qualities beyond what that image captures, it doesn't really appeal to me.

[Old Pueblo]

It's a bit dark , but I love it anyway, yes I feel a tiny bit of envy

I liked the the neon half better though

 

OP

 

[AnkurJ]

Here's another one while we are at it

 

[mkman123]

Is it CAC also? looks good!

[copper toning]

Personally I like the dark toning.

[Mark T]

I love that Seated Half - I am one who likes dark toned coins .

The Quarter is also very nice.

You have good taste Ankur.

 

Here is my dark toned 1811 Bust Half.

[AnkurJ]

The Half did not CAC, the quarter did.

[Marauderrt10-migration]

How about this

 

[BROADSTRUCK]

The Half did not CAC, the quarter did.

 

CAC'd or Non CAC'd I really like that Seated Half... Glad you kept it for your type set! (thumbs u

[James_OldeTowne]

Now that quarter, I do like!

Ankur,

 

I need to see some of these newps at the next Parisippany show Love the quarter and the Bust half.

 

[mumu]

First sunday in feb is Super Bowl sunday. Is parsippany on that week anyway? Game is late so I'd imagine it is.

You've had this for while haven't you? Whatever the case, it's one of my favs!

Is that a scratch on the reverse?

[James_OldeTowne]

Is that a scratch on the reverse?

It appears to be, and I think I saw this coin in person, confirming that. However, it's very minor in both size and proximity to the primary focal areas.

[AnkurJ]

Yup, small scratch kept it in a AU holder. The coin is MS otherwise.

[BROADSTRUCK]

Yup, small scratch kept it in a AU holder. The coin is MS otherwise.

 

Even from an image beyond the scratch it's quite easy to see adequate obverse/reverse rub which keeps it in a AU holder.

[physics-fan3.14]

Yup, small scratch kept it in a AU holder. The coin is MS otherwise.

 

A scratch has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on whether the coin is MS or AU. Only the presence of wear will keep the coin from MS - and the coin has wear.

I agree, other than the fact that I would have said the coin appears to have wear, rather than that it has wear. But I'm a pain in the butt.

Really? No kidding?

It does not look UNC from those images, but of course, we know there are plenty of AU coins in UNC holders.

I don't know where you get that Mark

[TomB]

Did you take the image of the Seated half dollar down? I don't see it.

 

Regardless, the Capped Bust quarter is AU because of wear, not because of a small scratch.

This coin does appear to have wear and I would not consider it MS. A scratch would only lower the MS grade, not cause an MS to become AU. However, a scratch or excessive marks can lower a higher AU grade down to AU53 or AU50, in some cases.

[AnkurJ]

There is some light wear, but some of what you see is from worn dies.

The Seated Half is imaged in the first post.

[TomB]

Now I can see it. When I first posted it was coming up as a red x, perhaps the problem was with the server where the image is hosted.

 

I remember this coin. It has a heck of a dramatic look to it.
