    You buy more coins than I do Stuart image That is a pretty bust half ... will you try to cross her?

    Nice toning, fairly consistantly sharp strike and it looks great for the grade! You find such great Bust coins. image

    That coin should cross to PCGS AU58 on a normal day. Very nice.image
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    Your going to like the coin in hand even more, my pictures do not show the luster very well. Good deal also.

    All: Thanks for your kind comments about my new 1834 NGC AU-58 (Large Date - Small Letters O-105) Capped Bust Half Dollar Sunday night purchase.

    StepHunter: Thanks for posting your comments that the coin looks even nicer in hand than in the photos! image

    << That is a pretty bust half ... will you try to cross her? >>
    Fletcher: In reply to your above question: Since I focus on the quality of the coins that I purchase (strike, luster, eye appeal, and preservation state), rather than being concerned with what grade is on the holder, I do not plan to cross this pretty Capped Bust Half, as she is well protected in her current NGC holder.

    Stu-that's some tight a$$ grading. Beautiful coin.

    That is a nice coin. Looks just like the one I used to have in an ANACS slab. image

    There is a bit of rub, so it is graded properly. It is still a beautiful coin.

    ttt This seems to have been dropped and needed to get some attention.
  • gripgrip Posts: 9,962 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Tom:What grade was your ANACS 1834image

  • tmot99tmot99 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭
    I can't say for sure, but I am pretty sure it was 58.

    Tom: I received this pretty 1834 NGC AU-58 (Large Date - Small Letters O-105) Brown Rim-Toned Capped Bust Half Dollar a couple of days ago, and am very pleased with her, after examining her in person. image
