I bought this off BST yesterday morning, so some of you might already know the answer to the GTG part. :)

    Looks VF/XF to me, no luster which XF coins usually have.

    I'm also in the VF35 camp. It's a lovely coin!

    Nice selection Rob ... good looking coin ... know the grade so I'll remain quiet on that.

    I think I see some luster hiding around the stars and portrait

    Lord Marcovan is now 4th that I know of in the forum provenance for this coin... having been one of them, I shan't guess, but I will say it might have a tad more luster than you think 😀

    If I didn’t know the answer and was coming at this one cold like most of y’all are, I’d have said VF35 myself.

    Ooh, interesting. Do tell! I look forward to seeing it in hand. It is en route.

    @lkeigwin sold me this coin some years ago, it helped me finish up my 1813 marriages. @drddm pounced on it when I sold off my first set of bust halves... and now it's yours!.

    I remember it. O.106. I bought it on ebay in Nov. 2013. My notes:

    Typical weakness for the variety, lower left stars flat, bust drapery weak, left end of scroll weak (though this is better than average). Overton says about half all specimens seen have UNITED almost entirely blotted out. Nice surfaces, full dentils, graded properly.

    Nice to see my pictures stayed with the coin!
