Opinions on this CBH - grade & retail value

Sellers photos - Just wondering if I should pick this up or not. Looks like at least a 50 to me but not too familiar with the series. Is the weak spot by "T" in states normal or is something weird going on there?

STONE

I would say EF-40, and not better.

GS says $130 in 40, so I'd say in the neighborhood of $150-165 for retail.

I dont really like the spot in front of the bust but thats just me.

I'll go along with STONE on the EF40 grade.

The weak T in STATES is caused by the striking characteristics from the opposite side of the coin. Not enough pressure to fill all the Obv. and Rev. devices good enough. The Bust of Liberty accounts for this.

I'd say in between $130-$160 in price.

XF40 to me too. Most of the 20's and 30's are very common in higher grades and have big mintage numbers for the series. Consider buying the teens on down. Don't over look the 1820 it's a real sleeper. I also like the 1821 and 1822 in this grade also. JMO

Well this is definitely not a buy then at $250. Thanks for steering me away.

Always wanted one of these, but lack of knowledge steers me away.
