Picked this one up also at the B&M shop today.

It has a nice Olive green color on the Obv and nice green bluish color on the Rev. Very Satiny finish.

Overton # and grade opinion anybody? I don't see much rub at all.

These are QUICK pics at work. (but pics at home wouldn't be any better...sorry)

    Looks like a nice AU to me, I'm a little worried about what looks like hairlines on the reverse in the last photo, above the eagle's right wing.

    AU 55. Nice Bust Half. Great colors!!!

    It looks nice, but I would be concerned that it has possibly been wiped because the images of the reverse appear to show many fine hairlines going in the same direction.

    Looks like a possible O-109. Looks about AU-55/58. I hope it hasn't been wiped.

    Thanks everybody for the comments!

    You guys are starting to scare me about the wiping thing. I thought (one of my big problems) I looked this coin over and over in the store and determined it was a keeper with no problems. I will take it out of the 2X2 and see what's going on.

    Paid AU $ for it.

    O-109, R-4 is on the 2X2, but wanted to make sure (since I don't have a book)


    There is a raised area coming down from the ear. Almost like a pitted die. Is that a marker for the O-109?

    Beautiful album coin. Probably wouldn't slab, but who cares? I would love to have that in my Early Half Dollars album. Nice pick up of an AU half.

    morning ttt

    After viewing the coin out of it's 2X2, I'm not convinced that there is hairlining on the REV.

    What say the Wednesday morning crowd?

    Yep...O-109 R-4-, BHNC Census downgraded from a solid R-4.
    The obverse, you will note the raised areas under the ear,
    this is known as "Liberty's Earring" these are just raised defects.
    On the reverse the first three stripes of the shield are unfinished at the bottom.
    Grade AU53, but it looks rather lackluster, or is it your picture?
    Good pick up guitarwes
    Mike
