CBH: Your grading opinion, please?

I usually don't dabble with CBH's in quite this high of grade, thus I'm a little rusty on my grading here. What grade do you give it?

Looks to have 55 details, but I can't really see if there is luster to support that grade.
It has a soap and water cleaned look to it which is OK as long as there aren't cleaning lines
not seen in the pics. The contact marks in the fields look too clean. Overall a nice coin with
nice details but I would like to rotate this one under a light.

tough to see the surfaces well. I say AU53

Tough 1818/7 Large 8 O-103 variety, according to Edgar Souder's book "Bust Half Fever", especially above AU.

This one has obviously been cleaned but has nice detail.
I'd say 55 details, but definitely genuine, at least from what I can tell based on the pics.

AU details, cleaned.

AU55 details (dipped)... Unless the CBH is washed out in the pics. No mint luster ???

I really hate to quote other members on a coin like yours...............I like the darn thing!

It's one of those " I wish they left it alone coins."

There's no difference grading CBH's or CBQ's.

She's got super meat...enough for a 58 if the luster is there. It looks like it might be dipped out. Even without hairlines, she won't grade if the luster isn't roughly commensurate with the meat.

That said, I like her. She needs a lengthy stint in a Wayte Raymond album. Perhaps the image doesn't do justice to the surfaces but if she's not hairlines, she still offers much to behold.

Looks like that eagle took a nasty fall on her beak............ouch!!!

nice details- may not grade as the surfaces just have an unnautral look to them
