1827 Capped Bust Half Dollar, O-114 -- Opinions

Danegeld

Here is what I believe is an interesting looking 1827 Capped Bust Half Dollar, O-114, R-3 (die chip in 'y' of LIBERTY) which I was soliciting some feedback on. Bust Half Dollar affectionados et al., please chime in.

I like it... a lot! I'd say XF48, looks better than 45 but not quite AU50.

Hey Ben, how are you?
Nice looking 114.
Do you have a closer pic of the Y in LIBERTY?
Shoot okbustchaser a PM about an 1827 as he has like 100 1827's alone and probably has several
die states of the 114.

The wear in the fields of this beauty puts it in the XF40 range max, but a real nice looking coin that I would love to own.

Ben,
I would call yours an XF+. (If enough luster is left then maybe a slab 45) Looks to have been dipped and then retoned but I like it. Question: In later stages the coins show a die rotation. Had it started yet on yours? Even later the dies shifted out of line.

Contrary to John's plug I only have a single 114--a later die stage and not as detailed. It does show the the die rotation and die mis-alignment, though.

A nice coin, Ben. I agree that it looks like it might be retoned from an earlier light cleaning but that wouldn't stop me from nabbing it up. It has a very nice look about it.

OKbustchaser - thanks for the info on the gradual die rotation for this variety. That's a very interesting thing to ponder.

40 and I like it...

From the images, IMO she leans toward a 40 but I would not discount that surface characteristics might weigh in favor of 45 or 45+.

Nice coin!

I would love to see her slab at 40, love the color.

I think it looks decent enough. An XF ish example. And would not want to place any sort of exact grade on it without fondling it.
