Hmmm....Someone said they saw it....but when I refresh, they become red x for me too.
Added: There's more than one way to screw the system......I think pics should work now. (And sorry to hijack the thread....my bad).

1807s can be tough to grade, the weak details are sometimes mistaken for wear.

I think this one qualifies for VF20 but think PCGS gave it F-15.

Nope, PCGS VG10 .....on the dot..

I think the coin has more strike issues than it does wear issues. I would not be suprised to see that get a VF25 grade becauses the amount of detail lost due to wear (as opposed to strike) is minimal, and the coin otherwise has nice eye appeal. I wouldn't be offended by a VF20 grade. Would be offended with anything lower.

Well, hte rev. is sharper than the obverse, but I'll say fine/12. Probably too much detail for a vg on the obverse, but the reverse looks full fine, if not fine+. So, fine/12.

circulated crap...

just kidding... nice looking coin, but circulated... lol

F-15/VF

VG 10 but a nice looking one with a better than VG reverse.

1807 O.110, S1 closest to curl is the key, reverse also used on 1806 O.117. VF20.

Tommy Type's is VF25, the O.116 obverse is failing, central detail is weak and the eagle's right wing is affected by this, in later states it is not struck up at all. Note the drapery lines are very sharp with little wear. The next usage of the obverse on O.117 is the weakest strike of all draped bust halves, the obverse has shattered, sunk, and has been lapped to the point where half the head doesn't show, one of the "half heads" in the series.
