Bust 50c 1822

Bust Half 1822
Have it marked as O-114 (the Big E)
This one has a little darker toning in the center (I sometimes say thicker as darker can have that negative impact).

I took a couple of quick pictures with my 20 year old snap o-matic. Gives it a different view from the TV.

So 2 is wild - Any other Bust coins out there with a 2?

    Strong coin.
    I'd have guess AU if this was a GTG.

    I agreed, and I’m guessing it commands strong money regardless of the grade; i.e., if I was selling and someone pulled out a greysheet, I’d say I hope you’re using the 58 column if you’re thinking about 10 back….
