New Colorful Bust Half

A couple weeks ago there was an regular Tuesday auction at Heritage that somehow seemed over-shadowed by the Stack's Bowers Spring Sale that went off the same day. While the Stack's affair had a lot of coins (and one I will show when it arrives), there were a couple of note in the Heritage offering, and I was able to win two of them.
The star of that duo was a 27-132 that I marked in my notes as a must bid on coin. Thankfully I won without pushing my max bid.
While these are not the greatest pictures, they are closer in color and luster than the ones from the auction, and when she arrived today, I can say I was SUPER happy to include her with my girls.
As always, guess the grade if you'd like, and let me know what you think of her.

I’m still upset I forgot about that 1808/7 in the same auction… DOH!

Pretty 53.
55, and I like it as the toning and overall appearance is very similar to the one in my 7070.

I like that one as a super choice 55...🤯
That look is steller, achieving that amazing combo of flash with a hint of crust!
Not the first coin like this you've posted 👍
Nice! 55

That is indeed a very nice coin... good detail... High AU.... Cheers, RickO
Very pretty. I suspect it spent a long time in a Wayte Raymond album.

Attractive AU55.
Thank you for all the comments.
I really liked some of the comments, especially the one from @jayPem as I agree, this is a stellar look and one I have been fortunate to find on a few pieces. To me it is the almost perfect balance of luster and flash and color and crust ... and a look I absolutely adore when I can find them.
The coin is in an AU58 holder, and I like it there. I guess I could see it as a very high 55 or a solid 58, but really nothing else. Of course, I have the benefit of having her in hand.
As @Treashunt stated, I think if it wasn't in a 58 holder, the grade wouldn't fit, and I'd have to resubmit.

She nice!
Beautiful O.132, Todd….and very deserving of its grade.
Love the peripheral blue toning, and overall eye appeal.
Another gorgeous girl joins her sisters! 😉
