  • Dave,

    I am amazed that you keep finding coins like these 2. I must not be looking in the right places.

    That queller coin looks amazing. I always looked for queller and prouty when I was collecting....
  • drddmdrddm Posts: 5,402 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Thanks for the kinds words on these 2 CBH's. I think these ladies will fit in quite nicely with the rest of their friends.

    John, I happen to have one other Queller (actually McClerg, Queller) CBH with some amazing toning as well, my 1820 O-103a, also one of my favorites.

    Thanks Lance.

    Believe me, I'd love to upgrade my AU busties to MS but I'm afraid my pockets are not THAT deep, although I wish.

    Interesting guesses so far.........keep them coming.

    Great looking coins!

    I have no idea about their grades though. image

    I really love the coloration. Beauts all.

    On the 1812, it looks like a gnat is coming in for a landing right into a cave! imageimage

    The 1823 is just AMAZING!

    I saw the 1812 on heritage I beleive, but decided to pass because of the scratch in the left obverse.
    My guesses are:
    AU55
    AU58
    All coins kept in bank vaults.

    Box of 20
    SeaEagleCoins: 11/14/54-4/5/12. Miss you Larry!

    "Interesting", huh? Okay...tell us this. Is that rub on the 1812 or as struck? Could easily be a 62.

    I'm too dazzled by the '23 to think straight.

    Ok, here is the 1812 in it's holder with the grade covered up, does it help with your question as to the rub and give you a better idea of the grade?

    Ughh the grades showing in the code image
  • CoinJunkieCoinJunkie Posts: 8,772 ✭✭✭✭✭

    OK, so it's a 62. Still looks to me like a "liner"......

    Who really cares? The coin is the coin is the coin.

    For the morning crew.

    Any more guesses on the grades?
  • tydyetydye Posts: 3,894 ✭✭✭
    I guess gorgeous. Grades irrelevant
  • AU58 net graded to AU62 for eye pop, rub is rub
  • drddmdrddm Posts: 5,402 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'm sorry, can someone point out the rub on the eye of the 1812?

    I'm just not seeing it what everyone is referring to, thanks.

    More great looking coinsimage

    I'll guess AU55 and AU58 on the first two, though an unc. grade on the 1823 wouldn't surprise me. It's understandably, hard to get a good look at the surfaces, due to their reflectivity. I think PL Bust Halves are awesome looking coins.
  • johnny9434johnny9434 Posts: 29,280 ✭✭✭✭✭
    wonderful coin. nice pick ups image
  • Dave,

    I also dont see the any rub Dave. I know I the 1812 I said I wanted to say 58 but went with 62. When I first started collecting the cbh the 1812 gave me a hard time. I would always see the flat nostril and think it was rub.

    The hair behind the ear always has a rub look to it even up the 63 and a few 64 grades. Unless you have a very highend 65-67 all cbh's have a few metal flow problems. I see nothing that I would consider rub on either.

    I like them both just waiting to find out the grade on the 1823 (hopefully not an AU, then my theory would be ruined)

    The grade on the 1812 was MS62 when I bought it, but is now MS63, and the area in front of Miss Liberty's nose is not so apparent with the coin in hand. The True View accentuates this area and make it stand out a little more.

    As for the the 1823, if you can believe it is graded AU58. It was recently sent in for regarding and unfortunately stayed at AU58 image However, it is one of the MOST amazing CBH's I have seen and the totally prooflike surfaces make this coin even more outstanding.

    And, BTW the 1820 O-103 (Ex. McClerg, Queller) pictured in this thread also got upgraded from MS62 to 63 image
