Thoughts on a technical grade?

Cleaned? Washed?

    Looks like a nice Vf30 from my screen.

    I would go low VF. 20-25 IMO.

    Nice looking VF-25.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

    If I'm interpreting the images correctly, I think the coin looks wonderful and does not appear to have been cleaned or washed.

    Nice coin, and one that could be used as an example for future purchases. I grade VF20.

    Thanks to everyone for the quick feedback.

    This was a very recent new pickup.

    I purchased it simply to be a pocket piece, one that I could show to friends and anyone else interested in collecting. (The rims are interesting for this series.)

    I personally thought it to be a very nice example for the grade.

    Pocket piece? On a capped bust half?

    I'd find a very cheap slick,cleaned or holed one for pocketing...this coin appears too original for that purpose.

    Yes, I agree. Sometime in the future this coin could make a moderate sized collector happy. As a pocketpiece it will be turned into junk.

    I am a moderate-size collector. image

    Seriously, I probably mis-used the term "pocket piece." More like an educational piece.

    Someone "across the street" indicated that it was a O-117, R2.

    What does that mean?

    Nice Bustie in the VF range...image

    The variety, O-117, is the pair of dies used to make that beauty...R-2 is the rarity factor, in this case a common variety.

    Nice VF. As far as carrying it as a pocket piece I don't have nearly the qualms others have voiced. Put it in a "kointain" and show it off to your heart's content.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.
