    Congratulations. I was one of the watchers.
    I had anticipated bidding, but it surpassed my high bid early on.

    Fantastic!! Nicely toned bust halves are my main area of interest, andyour 1831 is an A+.

    Just curious, but what's the grade?? At the expense of exposing by backside to the entire numismatic world, I'd venture to say AU 55.

    Do you like the toning on the one below? Guess the grade (without looking it up!!)

    LOVE the toning of your bust and i would guess 63,you were dead on with the 55 guess,but i think its a 58,tough to tell from pics.image

    First of all, you don't SUCK. However, what you do have great taste. (Nice avitar of Jerry, by the way.)

    It always difficult trying to tell the grade by pics as the ability to determine the luster is offset by the ability to evaluate the surface/toning. To state it more clearly, if you have a clear view of one you lose the other. Much like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, if you're a physics fan. That said, the even wear, particularly over the lower curls and tip of the bust of your 1831 seemed to me to be 55 quality.

    On the 1829 pic I sent--it's a little tricky as the folds in the cap are poorly struck, and the bust tip is also a bit weak; however, the asymmetry definitely suggests weakness and not wear as you intuited by you MS classification. In hand the luster, though muted from the intense toning, is bright and beautiful and the bag marks are few. It's a 64.

    P.S--any more nicely toned ones you could post??

    P.P.S--if you don't mind me asking--would you be willing to reveal the selling price of your 1831 (and/or where it came from)? An AU 1831 is currently priced on the PCGS site at $850, but (here goes my butt on thel ine again) I think your 1831 could eaisly bring $1700 for of the chart eye appeal.
