Bust Half newp

Can anyone help out with the overton number for this bust half? It's in PCGS plastic and attributed as a Large 8 but I'm not sure that's correct, having a hard time with this one.

Oh, and feel free to guess the grade.

It is a Small 8, O-110. Nice looking coin, I would say MS-63 if no cheek rub and AU-58 if so. Look like there is some luster missing on the cheeks so I will go with AU-58.

If that's not a 64, I'll eat my hat.

Well, maybe not. But it's a great-looking coin!

Don't know the attrution but agree with the above for grade. Nice coin

Sweet coin! I really like what I see. MS64.

Definitely SWEET O-110. I agree with the 64 crowd.

MS 63, in my opinion, and a very nice coin

Thanks for the attribution and comments. The coin is nicer in hand, I wasn't able to capture the color, has some nice purple along the top obverse.

Possibly dumb question - PCGS attributed it as Large 8 on the label - what would you do? Get it attributed correctly, leave it as is?

I'll reveal the grade on it shortly.

Here's a few more...

The pickups for O-110 are the joined AM and the left slanting date?

Thanks!

I can't even grade MS Bust Half Dollars in hand, much less from pictures. I will throw in a big guess at MS 63.

wow, nice eye and taste in early halves

Love the pre-1820 stuff... more?

Do you have any 1814s to show?

Here's my 1814 - not the same look as my others but I love it for the clashing. Was NGC 58 now PCGS 53.
