Edit: Guess the crossover grade - Newp 1821 Bust Half

LVGT

So I just purchased this off ebay. I can't wait to receive it. It's anacs small holder. Graded VF 35. What do you all think?

I like it ... I watched it and almost bid it for a crackout to my type album

Nice pick-up!!

Thanks. I'm anxious to start a type set. I just can't stop buying busties.

Nice one. I wonder if people wrote 2's like that back in the day... the mint should go retro and switch

LVGT: That's a very attractive original CBH, with fantastic eye appeal and also appears to be conservatively graded. Congrats on a nice pickup!!

LVGT

Thanks Stuart. I also thought it was under graded 5 points. 45 would probably be too much of a stretch due to the weak obverse strike and wear.

nice pick up

So I sent this to our host for a crossover. Guess what it came back. It was originally in a small anacs 35 holder.

Purdy colors!

XF40?

Very nice 1821 LVGT.

I am going to say VF35 (shot XF40).

Congrats on a pick up

I will hazard EF40, looks sort of lusterous and not so worn around the rims, just weakly struck center...
very purdy for sure !

40

I am guessing that a little luster will get it an XF grade.

I like it as a 40 but I will guess PCGS crossed it at 35.

Looks at least 40 to me

LVGT

So it actually came back a vf30. At first I was a little disappointed but now I could care less. It's a great coin.

BaseballAbs

Sometimes i think i should be a PCGS grader. Just don't give me any MS 66's

lkeigwin

PCGS was tough on this one. I guessed 35 but could have believed 40.

1821's are usually very well struck, although a little lower in relief than pre-1817. And they're known for wearing poorly, particularly in the lower curls/neck and the bust area around the clasp. It looks like PCGS dinged it for flat areas on both sides as a result of wear, not strike.

Still, I'll bet you can do better if you try again (though you have a healthy attitude, and the price difference between 30 and 40 may not justify it).

For comparison purposes below is a VF30 and below that XF40. (Sorry, I don't have an XF40 in the sub-design years of 1817-25.)

I'll give you XF40 money for it if you can get it crossed back into the small white holder....

I like her as a 35 and I also like the old ANACS slabs.
Unless you are a a registry guy why on earth would you take her
out of that nice old stable holder only to have her put in another holder?

LVGT

I just like being able to track the coins on my registry. I signed up for the pcgs cc and decided I would try crossing a couple with a couple raw submissions. I will not waste any more money on this one going for an upgrade. I will also never buy another coin in a non pcgs holder unless I am comfortable with the coin residing in that holder.
