Some nice crust factor on this Bust Half.

relicsncoins · December 30, 2011 6:51AM

Just added this piece to the ANACS photo certificate type set. It's a nice original piece. I like the crust factor. What are your thoughts on it? The photos represent the coin fairly well.

Thanks Savoyspecial for a nice coin.

GoldenEyeNumismatics · December 30, 2011 6:54AM

Awesome coin!

Barndog · December 30, 2011 6:54AM

if I collected halves, I'd be happy to own it!

guitarwes · December 30, 2011 6:55AM

That is nice, wow. Congrats on finding that one.

BaseballAbs · December 30, 2011 6:58AM

Perfect!

coinnut · December 30, 2011 7:02AM

A really great original looking coin. Nice

astrorat · December 30, 2011 7:05AM

Beautiful!

tydye · December 30, 2011 7:07AM

I WANT THAT HALF!

Flatwoods · December 30, 2011 7:12AM

Great looking coin. Is that coin the subject of an earlier post?
If so, I voted yes then too. Are you happy with it?

Yes, I actually like it better than in the seller's photographs. I think these photos are a little better representation of the coin.....Or maybe different is the right word.

Flatwoods · December 30, 2011 7:16AM

I liked it in the other pics and like it even more in yours.
Congrats.

lkeigwin · December 30, 2011 7:21AM

Nice! Very original.

I would be very interested in hearing from someone who doesn't like the coin as I think most would agree it's fantastic

kaz · December 30, 2011 7:45AM

Sweet. Very, very sweet.

STONE · December 30, 2011 7:47AM

I'm a fan even if the coin is a little dark.

Lovely piece

zap1111 · December 30, 2011 7:58AM

That's a beautiful O.109. The dark toning is appealing to me eye... it makes the lustrous edge sections all the more welcome. I bet it's a great coin in hand. Congratulations!

BigMoose · December 30, 2011 7:58AM

That looks like a wonderful unmolested Bust Half.

bosco5041 · December 30, 2011 8:07AM

WOW!!!! Where do you guys find these coins at? I would love to own that coin!!!!

relicsncoins · December 30, 2011 10:42AM

Thanks guys, the ANACS photo certificate has it graded at AU50/50.

JRocco · December 30, 2011 10:44AM

Beautiful coin
I am liking darker toned CBH's more and more.
This one is a real looker.

jayPem · December 30, 2011 11:15AM

I don't like it. Just kidding.

Elcontador · December 30, 2011 11:22AM

That is one of the few problem-free CBHs I've seen in awhile. Most of the ones I see are really messed up, irrespective of the grade, with the exception of some owned by a few specialists I know who collect the series.

From the reverse, it's an AU all right, though by today's standards, imo it's probably a 55.

jdillane · December 30, 2011 12:31PM

Yummy. And she looks 53 easy even if luster is blunted by the patina.

AUandAG · December 30, 2011 12:37PM

Unmolested and a beaut!

drddm · December 30, 2011 12:50PM

Beautiful 1818

Looks 53 or 55 depending on luster, love the originality on that one, congrats!!!

LVGT · December 30, 2011 1:33PM

That is one to be proud of

jesbroken · December 30, 2011 2:46PM

Wow!! JJ, where ever do you find these beauties. A flagship coin for sure. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

lordmarcovan · December 30, 2011 6:15PM

Yep. It's a tiny bit darker than I like, but heck, that's nitpicking. (Edit- and that's probably just the pictures in the OP.)

I like the overall look a lot, and the trace iridescence is nice.

mkman123 · December 30, 2011 7:00PM

like the look of that bust half

johnny9434 · December 31, 2011 3:25AM

that would look great with any collection for sure. nice pick up

Raybo · December 31, 2011 3:48AM

I'll give you 50 money for it.

A natural beauty she is.

DorkGirl · December 31, 2011 4:58AM

yellowjacket · December 31, 2011 5:25AM

When it was fashionable to clean your coins as you would your silver tea service, this coin was set aside. Rarely do you find such an original bust half.

morgantype · December 31, 2011 7:07AM

I think 50 is definitely undergraded.

She is about as original as you could hope for.

mozin · December 31, 2011 9:22AM

I agree the toning is a bit dark, but it is very pleasant. The wear areas in the picture do not allow me to give a solid PCGS grade suggestion, so I will go with AU 53. In any case, I like the coin. Too bad you plan to keep it away from PCGS graders.

CoinJunkie · December 31, 2011 9:57AM

Great look! You don't see many like that anymore...

tychojoe · December 31, 2011 3:00PM

That is an awesome CBH. May you have many years of viewing pleasure!

Raybo · December 31, 2011 3:19PM

Can we see the cert relics? What year was it graded?

Thanks as always,
Ray

ajman · December 31, 2011 7:38PM

Gorgeous coin.

I didn't take a photo of it, but here is the photo from the seller's website.

WinLoseWin · January 1, 2012 4:45AM

relicsncoins, do you have an opinion of the grade?

Based on the pictures, I would have guessed it could slab in the range of AU-55 to MS-62.

relicsncoins · January 1, 2012 4:50AM

AU55 would be my guess. I will likely submitt it as I do with some of the more expensive coins in the type set.

Some nice crust factor on this Bust Half.
