Across the entire lettered edge bust half series the most difficult, in terms of eye appeal, are those from 1836. Why, I cannot say. I remember talking with Dick Graham about this a couple of years ago and we agreed.
Here's one I like, among the 23 die marriages. AU58, of course. I have just one more, an MS64 that might make the cut. Another dozen AU's that aren't quite there.

Found in the cornerstone of a church in the south, or so the story goes. A small group of 1851 $5's and others from around this period all show a similar coloration.

EdGOhio---What grade did NGC give your Indian G$2.5? It's a very nice looking coin.

Unfortunately they gave the AU58, I am by no means a great grader but I felt it should have been better. I'm considering cracking and re-sending to pcgs.

EdGOhio---That's why I asked. It looks better than AU58 to me.

Many AU58’s look better than low MS to my eyes. I would be happy with that coin in the NGC slab.
If it looks strong I’d submit to CAC. The cost for another slab effort would not be worth it.
You Suck! Awarded 6/2008- 1901-O Micro O Morgan, 8/2008- 1878 VAM-123 Morgan, 9/2022 1888-O VAM-1B3 H8 Morgan | Senior Regional Representative- ANACS Coin Grading. Posted opinions on coins are my own, and are not an official ANACS opinion.
Simply a treat to come back to this thread every day and find 8-10 new pieces that are just Museum quality . . .
To rep the little guy . . . . . an AU58 with superb concentric toning, totally invisible in my spectacular photographs !!! It absolutely IS a $4 coin in AU with a $150 look. That is why I have it . . . . .
Sorry the toning doesn't pop. That will several camera iterations down the line . . . . .

These are the only two 58s in my collection (both PCGS):
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
So many of the coins in this thread look MS.

Both are amazing but the '33 stands out to me. I've seen coins that nice in 65 holders. Wow.

Here is a nice matching pair of 58 Reeded Edge Halves. These are actually for sale currently on GC, check them out!
Great beautiful coins! Still own the Pittman 1809?

Glad you did, I had missed this thread and really enjoyed looking through some of the pieces here! Some spectacular examples!!
I have a lot of 55's, some 58's ... I'll throw an old friend in for fun ...

Great thread and great coins. I can't believe this is my only 58! I have a few 62's that are 58's.
