This is sweet, wish I could afford it.

Nice, but for coins like this I want them in a slab before I`m gonna shell out that much

Broadstruck

That example wouldn't make my wallet wiggle.

Would definitely want that in a slab first before I bought it. Too many of these frequently come back with altered surfaces, cleaned, etc.

Although this piece might intregue collectors who have not seen a lot of Bust dollars, this example is not outstanding. These coins did not see a lot of circulation and as a result it is unusual to see them in less than VF. They were used, however, so true Mint State examples are very scarce in my opinion.

Here is the highest grade piece I have, an AU-58. There is quite a bit of luster under toning that I did not capture in this photograph. I fell in love with this one when I saw it at a recent Baltimore show.

I would advise you to stick with a certified example of this type at this and higher price levels. Large numbers of these coins have been cleaned, and many have been re-colored.

What LeeBone and tightbudget said.

It's a handsome coin, if real, but for the money I'd dang sure wanna see it wrapped in TPG plastic.

Cleaned, scratched, pass.

Somewhat strange lighting to those pics in my opinion.....imparts a certain 'cleaned' look to the surfaces of the coin....either that or it's just the coin itself!

and still slabbed & graded

i would like to see how many regular pcgs/ngc examples would actually pass a sniffer/shield submission

my guess is very few, even from graded holders

I like the hat. The coin, not so much.

Thats the truth brother. I have improved somewhat in my grading skills but I still get skunked now and again. Its just not worth
the trouble anymore, unless i've got it in hand and have a chance to get an experienced second opinion, Then maybe.
