I had to branch out from Morgans so this is my recent purchase. The coin shop I bought it from has done well by me and he purchased the coin at a recent estate auction. PCGS just finished grading this one XF40!

    I don't know how to grade those, but it looks very close to AU to me.... image

    I think the XF40 is right. Probably would merit an XF45 on wear alone...just a tad darker than I like, so I'd settle in at XF40. Well above average eye appeal for mid grade early dollar IMO. Congratulations! If that's what you wind up with when you branch out from Morgan's, may I suggest you continue branching!

    I think the "right" grade is EF-40 even though it is a tad better, just not enough better for EF-45 IMO.

    Regardless, a great looking coin. Congrats!!!

    EF 40 is my opinion. That is a very nice coin! image

    From what I can see, it looks like as nice as an XF Bust Dollar that you will find out there. You need mint luster for an AU designation, however.

    Brian: That is a really beautiful and original looking Draped Bust Dollar -- Congrats on a wonderful purchase!! image

    Although I'm not a Bust Dollar Grading expert, the coin appears dark, I believe that it's probably got more luster than is evident in your photos, and it appears approx EF-45 to perhaps AU-50 to me, with very little wear on Miss Liberty's hair, which may be a bit weakly defined due to slightly weak strike, rather than wear.

    I'd love to see some more revealing pictures of her with more light reflecting off of the field surfaces to show us a bit more about her remaining mint luster hiding in some of those protected sreas of the coin.

    Are you planning to send her in for certification?? -- I certainly would if she were mine...

    Thanks for sharing such a majestic and historic coin with us!! image

    Hey Oney,
    Let me congratulate you on that coin. That one is a killer in my eyes. I love the detail on this coin and as far as the coin itself---what a great coin to add to any collection.
    I like the color of that coin and I also like her skin. As long as those obverse field hits are not intentional (graffiti looking), and they don't look that way, that coin is a true beauty that I would love in my collection.

    edited to add--- Oh yea the grade---I see that in a 45 holder

    Just seen a PCGS XF40 in the Teletrade Sunday auction that looks like a POS. If it is a 40 this is a lock 45 IMO.

    I would give it a solid EF40. The TPGs seem to be all over the map on these Draped Bust coins, though, so nothing between about 35 and 50 would shock me.

    XF-45 with a good shot at 50, but the rim bumps might keep it a 45. I like the gunmetal look to this coin and would love to find one of these
    babys at an estate sale. The coin looks circulated but very lightly with no bad abrasions. Surfaces look very original. Congrats on the pickup.

    Am I the only one that is impressed with how well struck the reverse is and that fact that it is about as good as they come?

    Perhaps there is not as much wear on the obverse that one may think based on striking pressure? I do not think it is uncommon for either the obverse or reverse to be struck better than the other.

    It looks to be a strong candidate for an original surfaces designation.

    I still like that one as a 45, but I also would pay AU money for her no matter what the holder says.

    Being the first one to grade and the correct grade at that, I'll gladly accept this generous give-away as a token of your appreciation.

    Thank you, thank you very much!

    Very nice original looking coin. And no one should call it overgraded in a XF40 slab.
