Forum Member doh sent me a PERFECT coin that arrived today for Halloween. I think I see "horns" coming out the top of the last 8.

Thanks doh, I love it.
Comments welcome as I don't know CBH's very well.

If you like a little more color in your Halloween costume... you can tilt it to the light and get this...

Me likey! Perfect for Halloween!

Thanks Skyman.

I changed the title hoping to get a few more comments. Anyone care to grade it? The coin is currently raw.

cant go wrong with a nice bust with horns for halloween

I would grade it at VF-30/35 and has a nice evenly worn look.Just about a perfect circulated look.

bust halves have some of the coolest "date errors"

Nice!

Nice 1818/7 Small 8 and I agree, VF30-35.

Will you be sending it to PCGS for their opinion?

Congrats on your Halloween gift!!!

Wow, Richard, your pics are a lot nicer than mine! And you're right, the devil horns on Halloween are pretty cool!

Looks like great example. Just good old fashioned wear.

Nice pick-up, which trick or treater did you give it to?

Looks like an O-102, but I am not good on these. The 101 seems to have more seven showing.

Great looking coin with that devil 8!

Vf25, 2nd skin but market acceptable

Great looking overdate Richard. I think it is about VF-30.

Thanks all for the nice comments. I probably will send it to PCGS at some point, but not right now. I've also got an 1818 Cent N10 en route that I'm hopeful will be nice. I haven't seen a picture of it yet but considering the source I'm pretty sure I'll be happy. It is also raw.

We must have had 300+ trick or treaters and went through 35 - 40 pounds of candy; and in addition, my daughter had a "sleep over" of a bunch of 13 year old girls. I feel lucky just to have survived. Dang... they make a lot of racket.
