You do suck, I wanted that one, but was not going to buy it pre auction at the asking price....then was out and didnt put in auto bid.......NICE
Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.
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.

<< <i>that is some crazy colors on that busty! very eye appealing if not my cup of tea exactly.
is that album toning? >>
Yes,it is album toning from an old high end collection off the market over 25 years.
I had anticipated bidding, but it surpassed my high bid early on.

62 OR 64?

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!!)
