Nice coins!
Really nice grading results!

Congrats, looks like most crossed and then you got a couple of upgrades.

BustHalfBrian · July 23, 2013 6:02AM

Great results! Rarely do I hear of Bust halves upgrading at PCGS from their previous NGC grades.

I really like that 1812!

Wabbit2313 · July 23, 2013 6:05AM

Did you crack and send or do crossover?

Very nice by the way!

All were cracked...

Nice results. I really like the 8/7 and the 1810.

The 8/7 is a coin that for some unknown reason in 30 plus years of collecting busties I have never owned. (Hint, Hint)

By the way, did I tell you that I REALLY like the 8/7?

WOW.... The 1812 O.107 DOESN'T have the lump above the left wing...
Don't see many without it....

Now that you said you cracked them all, and sent them raw to PCGS, I can understand how you got such good grades. I am not enough of a gambler to crack out coins for submission.

The real prize was this one that I have posted in the R3 thread recently

1817 O-105A (R4-) AU53 (formerly NGC XF45)

Of course, I also have a fair share of NGC coins that may or may not cross at grade. I picked the above coins specifically because I thought they had a great shot. When you have a 100 coins to choose from, there certainly will be some winners.

That said, there was a period recently when NGC was flaming Draped Bust Halves, and I snagged 10 VF's where all are at least conservatively graded. May send in a couple more of them at some point...The DBH at the top I paid VF30 money (from 3 years ago) for so it really wasn't much of a score and I expected the 30 holder.

Glad to see that they all came back the same or better. This would be a good crossover thread results too!

BloodMan · July 23, 2013 10:40AM

I love the 1806 Small Stars-- Very Nice!

Very nice.... great results... Cheers, RickO

You done good.

TahoeDale · July 24, 2013 3:51AM

Very nice circ halves. Congrats on your results.

For these grade levels, I have found the 2 leading services to be very close on their standards. However, in
AU 55 and higher, there is a very distinct difference, and the higher the grade gets, the greater the grade
difference.

For those who have their CBH's in NGC holders graded 50 and below, I suggest an attempted cross all the time.
Either at the same grade, or cracked out and raw.

cheezhed · July 24, 2013 3:54AM

Good for you, nice coins whatever the grade.

etexmike · July 24, 2013 3:56AM

All are nice but the 1810 and 1814 stand out to me.
