My first MS bustie...

coinlieutenant · March 20, 2006 10:51AM

I normally collect AU's of course, but this one was just too nice to not include in the set...Just an awesome original coin that is truly MS.
Feel free to guess the grade.

mepot · March 20, 2006 10:56AM

Gotta love it!I'll go 63?

BigE · March 20, 2006 10:56AM

Ms 64, found at a dealers table while chasing the penny pincher--------------BigE

kryptonitecomics · March 20, 2006 10:59AM

I can't see it going less than a 64 but I am thinking you are going to say MS63 for some reason? An amazing coin for sure

DickyBetz · March 20, 2006 10:59AM

65

ER · March 20, 2006 11:00AM

ER MS65
PCGS MS64

bgrice · March 20, 2006 11:01AM

Soooooooo.... that's what a MS Bustie looks like.

bhartman35 · March 20, 2006 11:02AM

Nice!

tradedollarnut · March 20, 2006 11:04AM

You suck!

AZLARRY · March 20, 2006 11:04AM

You have a great eye and some lovely Busties. I think that coin will grade MS64.

cmanbb · March 20, 2006 11:06AM

An exceptional coin John.............

Now that your putting a MS set together, I'll take all your AU examples.

DeputyPud · March 20, 2006 11:09AM

Gorgeous O-109 if these eyes aren't fooling me.
Grade? Hope you got your 64 on it.

tmot99 · March 20, 2006 11:10AM

Awesome half!

coinlieutenant · March 20, 2006 11:18AM

Havent gotten the grade yet....but I will let everyone know when I do. Thanks for all the comments.

Bust halves are da bomb!

joefro · March 20, 2006 11:18AM

Great looking Bustie! I'd venture a 64 (would say 65 if not for the marks in the field under the eagles head?)
Amazing eye appeal!

CoinAddict · March 20, 2006 11:21AM

She's gorgeous, John. I will say she will grade MS64. Outstanding color on that beauty.

Trinketts · March 20, 2006 11:29AM

I mean this in the nicest way... YOU SUCK...

MS64 is what I would grade it...

Did you buy it raw?

WWW · March 20, 2006 11:31AM

Excellent Bust halve, John. I love the toning. Especially under the eye. That coin has the look of an MS64.

pursuitofliberty · March 20, 2006 11:31AM

WOW!! WOW!!! WOW!!!!

what a great coin John ... simply fantastic!

Gemini · March 20, 2006 11:33AM

Its a beauty and I don't care what the grade is....after seeing a coin like that I just say ga ga huma huma and hand my wallet over.

Tarmac · March 20, 2006 11:36AM

MS64 all the way! NGC MS65 on a good day.

bennybravo · March 20, 2006 11:38AM

65.

JRocco · March 20, 2006 12:02PM

Hey John- Great coin you got there. You are moving into some pretty expensive territory with those MS halves, I'll second that buying spree for some of your AU's

I hope you see a 64 on the slab.
Nice coin.

<< <i>You have a great eye and some lovely Busties. I think that coin will grade MS64. >>

Is it wrong for a man to tell another man he has great Busties?

mozin · March 20, 2006 12:03PM

I don't collect MS CBHs so I cannot grade them well. So, as a guess, this one I like as PCGS MS64. It is simply a gorgeous coin.

oldcameoproofsguy · March 20, 2006 12:06PM

She's a beauty!

Baley · March 20, 2006 12:37PM

Wow!

I'm not a big fan of the later date "bullion" halves

but that is a very nice one.

I'll guess 63 but could justify a point either direction.

Bear · March 20, 2006 1:04PM

John is growing up. He gets

to wear long pants now.

LeeG · March 20, 2006 9:10PM

"Very Sweet"!!! Congrat's on a Beautiful example!!! All of 64 from my screen

slumlord98 · March 20, 2006 11:21PM

Trying to guess the grading services from images is a crapshoot. Your coin does have a lot going for it, so I'm going to override my gut grade of 62 and say 63-64. Pretty coin!

JadeRareCoin · March 20, 2006 11:24PM

PCGS-64. Sweet coin!

RTS · March 20, 2006 11:34PM

Wonderful.

poorguy · March 20, 2006 11:38PM

Very nice MS64. Very slight bit of friction on the jawline and high points of the bust. Exceptional color and the strike looks sweet. Some 1826's have notable weakness over E PLURIBUS on the reverse.
