Just added this to the collection recently, figured I would post it for grade opinions before it eventually gets sent off to PCGS. Any help with the Overton number would be a huge help as well.

    AU-55
    The die marriage is an O.108a. I think it's the 'a' die state as the last A in AMERICA appears to be filled (I can't tell on my screen). If not, then it's an O.108.

    1829 Bust halves usually come very nice, with strong strikes, etc.. Good originality but not enough luster and too much friction for a 58; 50-53.

    That's a plumb pretty coin.

    What a beaut! You can put me down in the NICE 53 camp...

  • lkeneficlkenefic Posts: 8,160 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'd say 50...

    My guess is AU53.

    She's got enough meat to 58 but guessing the luster holds her back - AU55.

    Thanks for all the responses, everyone. Here are a couple of .gifs of the coin rotating under the light. The coin still has some luster remaining in the protected areas.

    The gifs look like a completely different coin. The original image makes the coin look great. The gifs make the surfaces look unnatural to me.
