Bought this 1828 CBH from J.J. Teaparty in the raw

I was told it would probably not slab with PCGS because of the deep rainbow toning.

Well, here she is.....what do you guys think of her?

I can only imagine what RickO will say.

    It's very nice for a 55, but would never have a chance of a 58 at PCGS.

    PCGS has slabbed quite a few CBHs with that look in the past, if I am interpreting the TrueView images correctly, so this does not surprise me very much at all.

    Meant to add, Liz attributed her as an O-109 / R-3 for those that are interested.

    That is a LOVELY coin!

    But back to your title, which is a wondreful example of syntactic ambiguity:

    Was it you or J.J. Teaparty who was in the raw?

    Either way, I get a big kick out of visualizing the sale image

    Wear wise, it's a solid 55 or 58. From the image I see, however, I would not have bought the coin. As Tom said, PCGS has slabbed many with this 'look.' They deem it to be "market acceptable." Not to rag on either you or PCGS, but do you think it is normal for so many coins of this series in this grade (and higher) to have this kind of toning? I don't.

    Actually, there is quite a good reason why there might be a large number of these type coins with this type of toning... it is called "Whitman Album Blue" image
    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image

    You are probably correct, but I don't care because this coin is quite eye appealing in hand.

    J.J. Teaparty loved the coin and told me I would too....they were right!!! image

    Both the 1828 and the 1834 are very nice, Goldbully. Well done.

    Ok... They say coinage averages 20 years in circulation, so the last bust half's were put-up just before the civil war or shortly after...

    So... Then you have to look the type of storage available to them at the time...

    Probably, cardboard, paper and or textile...

    Just say'n..."-)

    Very nice! Wonder why JJ Teaparty did not slab her first...or perhaps they tried? It does seem more difficult to get toners slabbed lately.

    Liz bought the coin raw, and she had no intention on slabbing the coin.

    In the last two years JJT has moved from selling primarily raw coins to selling almost exclusively coins that are certified. Many of those coins were sent in by JJT. Therefore, I would have to strongly believe that they might have just purchased the coin, however, they almost certainly had plans to submit the coin if it didn't sell.
