Capped Bust Half with some Color - GTG

Keep looking, keep turning over rocks ... keep searching for diamonds in the rough, or the fray ... or right out there in front of your face.
Wow, I'm glad I made an offer and got accepted on this one.
It has a great color that I can't even figure out how to capture yet. Nice luster and hardly any marks. Definitely from a worn and fatigued die, and a tougher to find die marriage.
Pictures are pretty accurate except the color is much more vibrant.
Feel free to guess the grade or post up any comments.
Have a great start to the weekend!

Wheee doggies that's a nice later die state.
anywhere from 45 to 53 depending on how it looks in hand........
love the look of this coin no matter what the grade
35-40. Maybe higher due to late die state.
I like it and it looks AU50 to me.

Sweet looking 1831-106, Todd!
Looks to have lots of luster too. I can’t make out the colors too well but it also looks to have some pretty toning as well.
Congrats on another great addition!

I must have got something right on the camera, even if I failed on the color, because a lot of you got it right, and in hand it I think it might be worth another look to go up one grade.
For now at least, she's wearing an AU50, in an older holder.
