Possible Newp: Opinions please.....1821 CBH

TennesseeDave

Seller states this is an original EF coin,price seems reasonable and 7 day return option available.Seller has great feedback.What do you think?Is it an original looking XF????

Looks more like a VF-30 to me. It's hard to tell from that scan, but it may have been cleaned long ago as well. Scanning coins usually doesn't do them justice.

it does look xf to me....

can't tell about the surfaces (or cleaning) from pics.

Something looks a bit odd about the surfaces, but it may be the image quality...perhaps an old cleaning. I would grade the coin, from the image, as a VF-35, but with the coin in hand it may be an EF-40 depending on the surfaces. Still, it is a nice coin and decent for the price (I know the asking price). Plus it is from a good seller and you have a good return policy. Looks like you have little downside...

I suspect that you will be pleased with her @ EF money. I am banking on the coin looking nicer in hand. I also think 1821 is an underappreciated year.

Very much so...

In my opinion going by the scan NO. I see it more in the VF range, and not original looking. I agree with others it's a bit better date then some might think.
But I believe if you are looking for an "original looking" XF..... you can do better than this one. Just my worthless opinion.

agree. not a bad coin though but you can probably do better if
you are patient.

appears the original crust was removed long ago and a new crust
is starting to form over it all.

at least it is better then some of the coins i see with super shiny
high points and fields missing the crust.

i also agree with realone.

1821 is not really a better date CBH until AU grade. I do not care for the coin in this thread, certainly not as an XF. Hold out for at least AU 50.

<< <i>My understanding is that when you see clean fields and dirt next to the devices it has been cleaned and the proof is that the dirt has been pushed away from the fields and pushed/left near the edges of the devices where they remain/collect. However it looks like it hasn't been dipped because then the entire coin for the most part would be clean and dirt not left by and around the devices.
Nothing wrong with such a coin, and old cleaning is probably the norm and crust is good. It isn't a high grade coin as noted by wear on the devices but a nice coin imho. If I have made any mistakes hopefully someone can correct me. >>




Perhaps someone made it a pocket piece for a short time, then she retoned? IMHO

Hope it is just the pic and it is better inhand.
Looks dull to me. I am not a CBH person so I am just going by type on whether I would get it or not....this most likely would be in the "no thank you" for us.

Lane mentioned he knows the coin/price/seller so it sounds like very little downside if you don't like it inhand though.

I like it as a VF- depends on if it fits with the other coins in your bust collection...
