1822/1 CBH AU 58 , Anyone else think

this is a bit high for a 58 ? Granted it has very nice eye appeal .

    While I could wish for a tad more luster in the field above the eagle and on miss Liberty, this is certainly worth all of AU58+ money. This will fetch very strong money with the eye appealing color rings.

    I think PCGS graded it right as a 58. As a 55 it would be undergraded imo....and certainly undervalued.

    Something tells me that this 1822/1 half will bring well in excess of the listed CDN MS60 price ($850)

  • I think it will go for a lot more than that, easily. I'm not particularly crazy about it from the photo's but this kind of toning pattern is pretty popular, I think.

    Depends on what you think you should be able to buy a nice AU58 for. The people who win these things at auction usually pay very close to MS63 money....

    I will defer to those that have seen this coin in hand, but that type of strong secondary toning is not my first choice in bust material. Look at some of those old nice original skinned busts that stman and slumlord post---image ... then your talking. This one does look like a real nice 58, but I am not gaga with the toning.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
  • Its mighty pretty with all that color. I'm surprised they didnt give it the 61 just for looking so good.

    I don't care if it's a technical 58. It will take at least three times AU-58 "sheet value" to win this coin, and maybe 5x. That's what eye appeal and toning do these days.

    Nice looking AU58. Someone working on a PCGS Registry set will undoubtedly pay more than the current high bid of $1400 plus the juice.

    Don't tell anyone, but the 1822/1 is not really an overdate.image I don't want my 1822/1 holdings to drop in value.

    I agree with your grade.

    Flashy AU type coins - especially in a series like this one (with its open collar) - often wind up in MS 62 or maybe MS 63 holders. Whomever wins this coin is paying a hefty premium for its color.

    I think it's a very strong AU58 and well worth MS money.

    I strongly doubt this is destined for a Registry Set, and I agree with Michael's prediction of $2200. Hammer.

    Why do you doubt this coin is destined for a registry set? Is it not worthy, or what?image
