Just got this one.. Seller's pics below
Can't see from pics, but in hand it is brighter, and this must be one of the nicest toned bust halves I've seen in a while!
Lustrous and fully toned in blue/green/purple/pink, I gotta get this coin imaged and post new pics!
For now, care to guess the grade and Overton variety?
Thanks!
here are some poor quality iPhone pics taken by me.. not great but they do show the color a little better than the seller's pics. Just tilt the coin a little against the light and it pops out:

Thank you!
I see it as a 50
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

I concur. My guess is the graders were turned-off by the mottled toning.
Gorgeous btw.

Well, PCGS graded it XF45
The coin in hand has nice luster. it is not as dark as seems in seller's pics. The details, when comparing to other 1821's (of this same variety, and other varieties), seem to be better than 45, I was thinking low AU..? But always good to have a coin that is very choice for the grade given (especially since I paid closer to XF40 money, I think..?)
Thank you all for taking the time to help and comment!

XF seated dollars are usually ugly.
It's a nice coin with better than average color, and good year. Certainly a keeper.
