1809 O-113 bust half - Grade's in!

coin22lover · September 12, 2015 7:00AM

Obverse looks gradable to me.

BustHalfBrian · September 12, 2015 7:12AM

Looks like it could be a rare DM. Where's the reverse?

ebaybuyer · September 12, 2015 7:18AM

sure looks like a pretty chunk of silver

lasvegasteddy · September 12, 2015 7:23AM

image is out of focus some and tough to call on

candidly off this image as supplied
it looks about right to grade

TallGuy · September 12, 2015 7:26AM

looks OK to me, nice EF+ coin. Impurities in the planchet metal show on the reverse, as is pretty common on these coins.

O-113A R-5...Looks like it will grade to me!

Nice find!

Genuine and Gradeable.

coinkat · September 12, 2015 8:54AM

I think so...

luckybucks · September 12, 2015 10:08AM

I see no problems with it getting a grade.

Nice coin.

commoncents05 · September 12, 2015 10:26AM

The only reason it may not grade is due to the planchet issues on the reverse.

Looks gradable unless someone doesn't like the dark holes on the back and call it details.

zap1111 · September 14, 2015 11:53AM

I see it more as an O.113, not the "a" die state, as it's missing the FULL crack from the edge to the leaves toward the claw and CA of the O.113. I don't see the additional cracks listed for the "a" state. Nevertheless, I think it might grade and it will come in at a higher grade than most specimens.

For fun, here's the O.113 I pulled off of ebay a few years back, if anything just to compare the cracks.

GREAT FIND!! Congrats.

coin22lover · September 16, 2015 7:53AM

Nice find, zap, I see where you found it in 08? How did it grade?

hchcoin · September 16, 2015 9:05AM

Great job finding the rarities as usual!

zap1111 · September 17, 2015 12:49PM

coin22lover,

I've not submitted this coin or any other yet. Just keeping them all raw until I've got the time and funds to go through all of that fun. I consider it to be an EF 40, retoning after a light cleaning. Yeah, it was probably 2008 or so when I found it and grabbed it, then posted it for comments. It is one of my favorite coins. It has some luster remaining in the devices. I'm jealous for your find, though. I'm hoping it will grade for you. I suspect it will - it's a reaaaaaally nice coin.

Congrats!

BustHalfBrian · October 3, 2015 9:15AM

Cool. You should keep one of your cherrypicks for once; this a hard DM to find in such a high grade.

coinkat · October 3, 2015 9:18AM

congrats

coin22lover · October 4, 2015 3:29AM

Anything think the planchet flaws held it back from a 45 holder?

asheland · October 5, 2015 3:19AM

Nice coin!

Congratulations. This is a very strong and a great pick. Wow.

coin22lover · October 6, 2015 7:20AM

Thanks again Zap.. I think ours have very similar details, though I agree that yours probably has a light cleaning. Still can't complain, can you?

Hydrant · October 6, 2015 3:31PM

Nice Bustie!

coin22lover · October 7, 2015 6:17AM

No one else has a 113? Post em if you've got em!

BustHalfBrian · October 7, 2015 6:49AM

<< No one else has a 113? Post em if you've got em! >>

I don't, but I have O.114. What makes this coin special is that it's a "prime" die state which no die cracks on either side. Most of the examples I see sold as "O.114" have some form of die cracks on the reverse, which means they're really "O.114a". To be a true O.114, the coin must have no die cracks.

coin22lover · October 7, 2015 9:33AM

That's very nice, Brian. Might as well turn this into a general 1809 thread. Here's an 1809 prime O-110 (R6). Worth high 3-figures.

Very important coin in this grade in a PCGS holder. The die marriage was unknown in mint state until Matt at NFC found one in PCGS MS62 in 2013. I believe there are three in lower grades of AU that are holdered at PCGS now. This wonderful; cherry should be worth $3500 to $4000 if auctioned in the appropriate venue such as a Sheridan Downey die marriage auction. CC: I think is MS62, AU55, AU53, AU50 then XF for this very sticky rare die marriage and grade level rarity.

1813 O-113a PCGS MS62 Finest Known

Its really a terrific find and appears to be near perfect for grade. Congrats!!

One of a bevy of tough 1809 die marriages. If anyone has an O-114 in AU or better I'd appreciate if you would reach out to me. Its the one I need to get all the die marriages into AU graded holders at PCGS.

johnny9434 · October 9, 2015 5:12AM

congrats on that

maibockaddict · October 9, 2015 6:49AM

that is a good one. Each die state is likely an R6 (cobining for an R5).

1809 O-113's rarely appear on the market

Sounds about right. Maybe an R6 for the 113 and R6- for the 113a. One of the few true R5's left (being honest, many of the other R5's are probably R5- to even R4+ by now)

Thanks for the reply! Hopefully someone will come along with the O-114 AU that you need. Is your registry set open for viewing?

GoBust · October 12, 2015 4:16AM

The die marriage varieties are listed in PCGS coin facts.

Excellent cherry once again!
