At best, the coin appears to have been cleaned and I would definitely avoid it.

You're welcome, though if you were thinking about the first coin, I'd recommend not buying uncertified coins of anything more than minimal value. I'd also advise against buying other than on a sight-seen basis. The 1834 was likely cleaned, too, though probably not as harshly.

Thanks for the sound advice !!

 

I like the 50c a lot but i will try to sit on my hands with the bidding

 

he has also listed a 1828 half cent which also looks funny i will try and pinch his pictures

The quarter is nasty, the half dollar much nicer.

I fully agree.

Yes, the quarter was cleaned, definitely, but is a variety (I can see the O-F) and a bit of dim ramage. The Half has been cleaned to, but its and old cleaning. The 1/2 cent was definitely dipped, toned, or cleaned or it is the nicest specimen in the universe (it appears have AU+ details). Yep, the 1/2 cent would be very tempting for me if I got it at VF pricing.

The quarter is a B-1, Rarity-1 die variety. It's one of the most common, according to Browning. The OF is repunched on this variety, but the easiest way to recognize it is the missing period after 25C It does look like a well struck and detailed example, even though its been cleaned.

Hi all just a update the 1835 50c went for £48.85

[MunkyMan95]

That's nearly $100 for us non-UKers.

The quarter looks whizzed to me. The half-dollar looks much better. I wouldn't buy that 1/2 cent based on those images.
