It looks to be a very nice VF+ to XF. Its die marriage appears to be LM-2, R1. Nice coin!

Yesterday's VF-30, which might be today's EF-40. Nice coin!
Old school...30.
I love the schmutch!
I like it.
But when I opened the thread, I thought, "Someone is going to badmouth it." Sometimes, this place doesn't appreciate coins in a "well circulated state."
I'm heartened to see that there are good reviews.
Nice, original surfaces with honest wear; I'll call it a VF35.
I'll go with VF. Perfect coin for a Dansco.
Following a span of years from 1806 to 1828, when no half dimes were minted, the Capped Bust style was introduced in 1829. The design is quite similar to that used on the dime from 1809 to 1837, by John Reich, and was modified from that source by William Kneass, Mint engraver.
I'd say 35. No matter the grade, it's a nice original example.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
35
I like the coin! Well, I like pretty much anything capped bustish that isn't destroyed by too much cleaning, and even then I could get to liking them!

35 here.
Thanks everyone. .. I like it at 35 as well. It's a bit on the low end grade wise for my type set, but I liked the fields and the darker toning didn't bug me.
Speaking of toning... what appears as "green" in my pics is actually more of a blue steel tone. The devices have a bit of flash in the recesses as well.

Coin is sitting pretty in that dansco. No dings, narfs or scrapes. Nice. Peace Roy

Love it
If it was in an older holder like the OGH, it would be AU50 or so. Today.........XF40.
Nice coin!
Looks nice to me.
