Including thoughts on value....

Thanks in advance..

MasonG

Don't have any idea of value, but I do wonder what the logic is, of including a photo in the holder. Can't you just look at the coin?

Right. Because holders never matter in this hobby lol…it’s cool to have the photo IMO (pre- TrueView) to capture what the coin looked like at the time of grading. We’ve all seen examples of how coins can turn after slabbing.

If the coin becomes separated from the paper you could still identify the coin. Makes sense.

I would suggest a much more detailed title so you can get the right eyeballs on this post

What percent of coins do you think turn after slabbing?

I almost never see bust halves in these old holders. I don't think there is a collector base of this series that would put any significant premium on the holder. The overton is indeed an O-106, and the value may be around $115. The coin appears VF cleaned and retoned, so F-15 is a nice net grade although a little low.

the OP coin seems to have gained quite a bit of color from its original photo

Assuming the photo accurately reflected its appearance when it was taken. Trueviews would seem to be evidence that that assumption is not a safe one to make.

I am thinking that those were before digital cameras. Had to make the photo the old fashioned way.

Don’t discount that you’re looking at a photo taken on film and printed 30+ years ago, long enough ago to fade and at a time when it was VERY expensive to take multiple shots of a given coin, or lots of photos in general to hone the skill.

Yes, I understand that photos can turn, too.

edited to add... That's why I made my original post although I wasn't very clear at the time. Sorry.

Looks like a O.106. F15 is not far off. Maybe a bit better.

I don't know what to say about the reverse image. I've never seen shield lines like those.

There is a small group of photo cert collectors out there for sure... I think a CB half is pretty uncommon so to the right person, I could see a small premium over the value of the coin.

ricko

I agree with @lkeigwin... That shield seems to have been tooled/altered... Cheers, RickO

Buy low, sell high... Don't tell anyone

Sunshine Rare Coins

It's definitely worth a premium over a regular F-15 bust half.

I believe it is an optical illusion

The rev does look strange with the diagonal shield lines, where they should be horizontal on the upper part and vertical on the lower bars. Not sure it's an optical illusion as the diagonal appearance is in different directions on the upper and lower parts of the shield in the op's picture. Maybe some better pics as those are pretty blurry anyway.

I looked it up, and here is a certified example of an 1822 50C O-106. Not sure it is a match as the date looks different, where the 18 s/b "clearly higher" (or rotated cc somewhat) vs the 22 for the O-106 per Parsley.

i've seen similar lines (not as strong) imaging rattlers/OGH holders. MAYBE a couple older NGC holders as well.

UpGrayedd

It appears to be a PCI Gen. 2.0 Photo Slab. Slab collectors do collect them, and there should be at least some premium over the value of the coin. However, most of the coins left in these old photo slabs are usually pretty common/low value coins. This is the first CB half I have ever seen in one, so who knows if two slab collectors had to have it.

If you post this in the "Rare plastic for the weekend" thread you might get more eyeballs from the people who collect this type of stuff.
