Market Acceptable Toning? 1812 Bust Half Dollar GRADE POSTED

BustHalfBrian · February 6, 2015 9:10AM

The color is pretty wild on this circ Bustie, but is it too wild?

Goldbully · February 6, 2015 9:16AM

I like her, but what will PCGS say?

The blue toning could be suspect.

Vbowling299 · February 6, 2015 9:16AM

Dang you!! I was one of the bidders on that one!!

looks lovely

Yorkshireman · February 6, 2015 9:17AM

Nice, but some of it looks a little too blue for my taste.
Cool piece of history with that date!

puffer · February 6, 2015 9:20AM

Looks good to me. If they are going to BB it they should provide a plausible doctor treatment that caused it.

indeetlib · February 6, 2015 9:40AM

I like the look and think it should grade no problem.

TomB · February 6, 2015 10:35AM

I believe it would grade as problem-free.

Flatwoods · February 6, 2015 10:39AM

I like it. I have seen many coins in old Anacs holders with that exact look.
I always wondered if it was from the holder.

drddm · February 6, 2015 10:41AM

Nice toning on that 1812 Brian. I don't think you'd have any problem selling that one, especially if PCGS puts it in a non details holder.

Good luck with the submission

roadrunner · February 6, 2015 10:49AM

Pretty much expected as secondary album toning. Should grade out as TomB said.

DIMEMAN · February 6, 2015 10:52AM

I love it ........ and PCGS should too!

AnkurJ · February 6, 2015 10:54AM

Looks good to me! Coingrats!

bcdeluxe · February 6, 2015 11:10AM

I love it.

coinsarefun · February 6, 2015 11:31AM

Send her in and get a trueview.

Shortgapbob · February 6, 2015 11:45AM

That should grade out just fine.

Barndog · February 6, 2015 11:46AM

Market acceptable yes

TennesseeDave · February 6, 2015 11:49AM

I am ok with that look. I would think it will grade.

Walkerfan · February 6, 2015 1:01PM

<< I like the look and think it should grade no problem. >>

+1

VanHalen · February 6, 2015 1:32PM

Looked okay to me before I read the responses. You should be fine; I would be surprised to see it bag for color.

lordmarcovan · February 6, 2015 1:43PM

I think it has a pretty good chance at being market-acceptable.

Acceptable to me, in any event. Looks very nice.

ElmerFusterpuck · February 6, 2015 1:45PM

Looks fine to me, I wouldn't hesitate to add to my collection.

lostincoins · February 6, 2015 1:46PM

I say it is market acceptable but something is causing me concern, I don't know what. Re toned after old cleaning, it is the heights of the colors that is bugging me as I have been looking at to many Morgans as of late and these tone differently. I do like the coin andthe blue color is appealing at least to my eyes.

I vote a problem free grade -- however it might take 2 submissions (just for a little added torture).

I personally think that color pattern would be very hard to cook.

And I think the coin is absolutely fantastic looking.

amwldcoin · February 6, 2015 7:52PM

Looks like a coin that sat in an old Library of Coins album for a long time. I vote it will grade.

astrorat · February 6, 2015 8:46PM

That looks to be toning from storage either in a paper envelope or album (most likely).

Sonorandesertrat · February 6, 2015 10:51PM

The toning on that coin looks fine.

lkeigwin · February 7, 2015 12:28AM

<< The color is pretty wild on this circ Bustie, but is it too wild?

I agree. Go for it.

Here it is with a little less wear.

jom · February 7, 2015 1:07AM

Assuming there are any other problems with the coin you can't see in the photo it should pass just fine. Another words it isn't the color that will fail it, IMO.

oih82w8 · February 7, 2015 1:44AM

Nice half dollar all the way around!

telephoto1 · February 7, 2015 1:48AM

Looks like a nice circ coin that spent some time in an old Wayte Raymond holder. That looks like classic WR album toning. Definitely market acceptable and a nice coin. Congrats.

telephoto1 · February 7, 2015 1:49AM

Looks like the double post glitch is acting up again...

Walkerguy21D · February 7, 2015 2:39AM

I think your coin is fine.
I've got an 1814 with wilder toning than that, and I know for a fact in came from sitting for years in an old drawer.
If I posted it on here, most everyone would flame it as AT. Heck I'd call it AT myself if I didn't know the history on it.
For whatever reason, these busties just seem to tone up pretty in the right environment, much more easily so than say
a walker.

coinguy1989 · February 7, 2015 3:43AM

It looks natural, and it should straight grade.

crazyhounddog · February 7, 2015 4:27AM

Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. But, I think it's beautiful and I also think it'll grade just fine. Nice pick up!!

OGDan · February 7, 2015 6:13AM

Here's your new coins cousin from south of the border. Well technically it's old enough to be his grandpa. Let's just call him little primo.

BillJones · February 7, 2015 6:18AM

I think that this coin will get a grade, but I don't think that it is worth enough send in for grading. To me it is a Choice VF coin, and as such it's worth less than $200.

mozin · February 7, 2015 6:19AM

I am suspicious of the way the blue shows on this one. The sequence of colors from the center of the coin out, appears to be off. For the grade, PCGS may well grade the coin. It is pretty.

shorecoll · February 7, 2015 6:34AM

It looked OK when I bid on it.

okiedude · February 7, 2015 8:18AM

Obverse has a definite WR album look, as mentioned above. Reverse gives me a little cause for concern. The blue all the way into the shield somehow doesn't seems right. Pretty coin either way, I like it regardless.

jayPem · February 7, 2015 9:20AM

<< I think that this coin will get a grade, but I don't think that it is worth enough send in for grading. To me it is a Choice VF coin, and as such it's worth less than $200. >>

Probably worth a bit more than $200...Brian hasn't said what he paid though.
If it grades at PCGS the value will go up enough to cover the grading fees and then some IMO, plus it makes it an easier sell.

Late date CBH in VF, then I'd agree with you....an awful lot of those around, and the plastic won't help nearly so much.

sparky64 · February 7, 2015 11:52AM

Well I definitely learned from this thread.

When I first saw it, I was suspicious about the blue around the perimeter of the portrait, eagle and scroll.
I thought it looked like a funny shade of blue, recent toning clinging to a relatively recent cleaning.

That doesn't mean that I don't like the CBH.
I do, but I would have put it in the nice but problem category.

Based on the unanimous approval by others, it looks like you're in the clear.

He may be in the clear for the toning, but what about the surfaces? I really can't tell if they are market acceptable from the provided images.

jdillane · February 12, 2015 6:07AM

I think the patina looks fine. Looks like a vf meat bustie perhaps with XF luster.

I'd have paid $200 for her in a heartbeat.

BustHalfBrian · March 20, 2015 3:02PM

Decided to give this one a shot at grading after the favorable response here;

And the TrueView...

BustHalfBrian · March 20, 2015 3:02PM

lasvegasteddy · March 20, 2015 3:10PM

awesome results there and sweet example

sorry i missed this thread

jcping · March 20, 2015 3:13PM

Gratz on the grade. Officially, it is a market acceptable beautifully toned coin

3keepSECRETif2rDEAD · March 20, 2015 3:24PM

Congrats Brian, Beautiful coin with tons of character! Great eye kiddo

coinsarefun · March 20, 2015 5:41PM
