What are your thoughts on this 1818 Capped Bust Half?

relicsncoins

I'm looking to upgrade the piece I currently have in my collection with this piece what are your thoughts? I thought it looked pretty decent in the photos.



Here is the piece I currently have.......the reverse is nice, but the obverse has had a light wipe.

I like the 1818 much better.

I agree, I like the 1818 much better as well. Just for curiosity is that a pin scratch behind the head or just something in the photo?

Edited to add, it looks raised in the picture, like a die break. These are not my main area so i don't know the standard breaks that occur on them.

Nice! I favor the 1818 also. And I think it may be a bit undergraded at AU50. Looks 53/55 to me, depending on luster.

It is a clash of the birds wing.
I am in the 1818 camp also.
I like the streaky toning.

1818 all the way !
I was thinking that it looked sorta undergraded at 50 also, to bad you can't send it to cac for a gold sticker !

They'd have to put the sticker on the coin

I also like the 1818. It looks like a strong AU-55 coin to me.

I like the 1818 better. I started collecting bust halves about two years ago, as a minor specialty. BTW, 1818 was the first issue that I bought (initially as a type coin, but I couldn't stop at one).

The green toning on the 1818 is a bit on the funky side, and the markings on the obverse neck and cheek are a bit odd looking as well. The combination brings the thoguht of PVC exposure to mind.

Nice 1818 CBH!

I decided to purchase this. The seller is actually a board member here. I think it will be a nice upgrade for my set.

I have some concern about the neck marks, don't know what they are. The grade otherwise, certainly makes AU 55. Get it into a PCGS holder, and report back here.

Nice coin and the 1818 likely is a 55 and quite possibly 58
