Very nice, original 1809 bust half for Sale....Price $350.00

I grade it as at least an xf40.

I do believe the edge has the 'IIII' lettering.

    Nice pictures. But, do you mind me asking what's going on with the "C" in "50 C" on the reverse?

    I was drawn to that as well. Looks like a piece of lint and the top half of the C may have been lapped away or result of strike weakness as with the R claw?

    Yes, absolutely.

    There is strike weakness in this area. Quite often, it's at the left wing but in this case, it's the upper part of the 'C' and the right claw.

    The shiny speck on the 'C' must have been dust or lint. It's definitely not an imperfection on the coin.
