Maybe I'm missing something here but I saw this as an EF, it came back as a VF.

    Not XF. 35 on it's best day and 30 sounds better as noted above.

    Still a very nice bust half with good eye appeal and well-preserved surfaces.

    I see it as a VF also. 1826s are very well struck, generally speaking (I think of 1826s as the 1881-s of Morgan dollars) so many times you will see more remaining detail on a VF 1826 than you would on say a VF 1807-1814, for example.

    Yep, looks like a VF to me too. A Choice VF, for sure ... I'd grade her 30 ... but not EF material.

    Thanks. I looked up all the Overtons on this Bust 50c and nothing jumped out at me. Die break on top of obverse and reverse to left of eagle's wing.

    I believe it’s a O.108

    A nice VF but not even close to an XF.

    IMO too much wear for a 40. I would give it a 30.

    30 to 35 and it has a nice look for an album type set
