    Cool set of halves John! I don't have time at the moment to determine grades. Nice.

    I'll try

    1807 = XF+

    Hawaiian Half = XF40-45 (a guess) Damnn fine looking Hawaiian by the way!

    1858 Seated half = XF40-45

    1904 Barber Half = Hmmm. Didn't I use to own that one?

    1913-D Barber half = XF40

    Here's my guess!

    1807 Xf-45
    1883 Dont have a clue but say Vf-30
    1858 Vf-35/borderline xf-40
    1904 Vf-25
    1913 Vf-35 or 40
  • Well, lets see... you can start by sending the 1807 and the 1904 my way... image Nice lookin coins, I like Circulated Barbers, and most older circulated silver, like Capped Busts...

    1807... ef40 These can come weakly struck and this one in terms of strike may be slightly above average. The coin does not look original but it is still a nice coin. I think it falls short of 45

    The Hawaiian is probably a VF35

    The 1858 is a solid EF40...perhaps alittle short of 45

    1904 Barber is VF30

    1913 Barber is VF35

    These are my thoughts and they are all keepers. Barbers seem to be under appreciated in this grade

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I'll guess that they're all graded 40 and that's "why", but the 1807 looks 55 in the scan.

    I'd concur with Mr. Eureka on all being XF40. The barbers appear weaker than the other coins but I'd stick with XF40. The bust half with the exception of some strike weakness in the mid hair area, looks like an XF45.

    I would say all very nice, VF coins,

    except 1st coin ,which looks XF-45.

    But, what do I know, I'm just a bear.

    I like that 1807....very nice strike on the reverse...AU53-55 is my guess.

    1807- EF45 Maybe Au50, Nice coin
    all the rest are 35-45 range.

    All are keepers.
    Have a good day, Gary
  • 1807 AU50 - nice detail on the reverse, obvserse hits may earn it a net grade of 40, however.
    1883 - first one I've even seen, but appears XF40
    1858 - XF40 - good shield detail
    1904 - VF-35 too much wear on the ribbon for 40
    1913 - also a 35

  • . . . .I just can't take my eyes off that 1807 half. . . .image

    All right. Sorry about the long wait on the grades (Stuart) image. Some of you might be dissappointed since not all are in holders. I am sending in the 1807 and the 1904 on Monday...

    Here is what I grade them and the ones that NGC graded for comparison.


    The 1807 is raw and unsubmitted. I grade it XF45 with the possibility of going to AU.

    The 1858-O is in an NGC AU50 holder. I graded it XF40 when I bought it. They were on crack but I will take it.

    The 1904 is raw and unsubmitted. I grade it XF40.

    The 1883 Hawaiin is in an NGC XF40 holder. That is what I graded it too.

    The 1913-D is in an NGC XF40 holder as well. I graded it as such.
