Strong XF45. If significant mint luster present AU50.

Weaker reverse strike here as is common with these. identified as O-112a. R5.

Thanks for all the opinions. More would be appreciated. These are scans so there is a good amount of luster around the devices and the coin has a nice smooth album tone.

[jpcienkus]

I like the look of this coin. I'd say XF45.

 

This question is directed at the CBH experts: does this coin have the old cleaning re-toned look?

[MarkFeld]

AU50

[BillJones]

I'd say that one has a decent shot a AU-50. Nice coin.

Strong XF45. If significant mint luster present AU50.

I realize these pics are scans, but I don't see the Obverse die crack "from edge below of first 8 through last 18 of date to edge of lower curl, inner point of star 11, across star 10-8 and to cap then to star 7-6 and to edge. Need to have that die crack to be O-112a. If no crack O-112 R1.

 

Is the crack there? If so, great pickup.

For comparison, here's an AU 1818 that I have.

 

 

Different die marriage but, depending on the luster, OP s coin is very comparable when looking at circulation wear. IMO solid AU.

Yes, the die crack through the date up to the right stars can be very faint. Can't be seen in the pics but it's there all right. Thanks for all the help guys!

Your coin seems to have AU details. Can't ell how the surfaces are from those pics though.

AU 50

[okbustchaser]

I'd call it AU-50 or so. Like Carl, I don't see any sign of the die crack crossing to the rim at star 6 although, as you say it can be hard to see--especially on a toned coin such as yours.

 

For comparison, here's my 112a vlds which has an additional die crack from the base of 1 in the date up through the original crack at star 6.

45 could go 50 depending on luster.
