What do you think of this 1818 CBH O-108 and what do you think PCGS graded it?

    Beautiful Pincher 8's CBH. I would guess AU-53.

    XF, nice album toning. Looks like the photo was slightly juiced.

    I'm going solid AU50 on this piece. Looks very simmilar to some TP toning I've seen.

    AU53...

    That's some serious nice color. I'll guess AU-50 or 55

    Can't really discern how much luster is there. Me thinks she is likely a 50 or a 53.

    I am not into toned coins but do like the date error -- nice XF45 to me
  • AU53
  • That looks like a prototypical market graded 55 to me. I don't really have a problem with it if the luster is at least half decent. I have an NGC 1817 that looks somewhat like that and is graded 55. Nice 108 BTW (pincer 8's)

    I'll guess AU range 50 to 53

    First off, the 1818 is NOT mine. I cannot evaluate the luster either from the seller's pics, but I think it looks like an AU50-53 based on details, surfaces, etc. Personally, I think PCGS gave it a bump to 55 due to the nice toning. This is of course, just my opinion.

    Hi.

    Love the toning on your coin..very nice!!!

    Actually, I enjoy it more than the rainbow toning of the AU55.

    Beautiful Coin.

    The toned one got a bump due to the eye appeal, it is no better than an AU-50 to AU-53 as far as wear goes.

    Remember that PCGS does not grade the coin for wear, as much as it slabs it for value.

    I really like your other 1818 by the way, solid coin for the grade and then some! image

    Very nice CBH! Lovely.

    I wasn't as lucky. Mine got BB'd for questionable color. image

    I would rather have yourAU-55 than the colorful one anyday. That is a very nice coin you have. I bet it would upgrade.

    I don't care for it. Pics look juiced. Not my cup of tea.

    Sorry I got here late, but my first impression was PCGS 55. The wear is a bit heavy for the grade, but the overall look says AU 55.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.
