Here are a few cropped shots from my iPhone.

After admiring this one up close, I just couldn't pass her up.

I'll post some additional photos and the Trueview later, if anyone is interested.
I'll also hold off and post the grade tomorrow for anyone wanting to guess it.

Thanks for looking!

1796 $1 B-4, BB-61 Small date, Large Letters

    I'm not so hot at grading these but I gotta say WOW I find it an extremely attractive piece of Americana. I'll take a wild stab and say XF-40. And gorgeous!!!!!!image Very nice pick up!!!!

    That's incredible!!! Love the blue highlights in her hair...

    Joe spoiled the guessing game, but I really was going to brave a low AU guess. Congrats!

    For those who collect circ. Bust material, this counts as a Trophy Coin. What a great piece.

    Of course, you'll eventually grow tired of her beauty, and trade down for the Fine 15 and a boatload of pocket money for walkin' around. image

    That is truly a very special coin.
  • coinkatcoinkat Posts: 23,262 ✭✭✭✭✭
    terrific- I would grade it 45 too

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

  • agentjim007agentjim007 Posts: 6,256 ✭
    I guess I'll go 45 also since the previous owner said it was 45 ex NGC 53. Aren't we smart? That is a dream coin for me. image
  • jdillanejdillane Posts: 2,365 ✭✭✭
    Very nice! Wondering if NGC was smitten by mix of luster and eye appeal when they graded her.

    Curious, was she submitted raw to PCGS?

    While I agree that the coin technically grades EF-45, from a value and desirability viewpoint I think that an AU grade
    is more accurate. Did the coin sell for an EF+ price or an AU price? Market grading and all that jazz...

    << <i>Very nice! Wondering if NGC was smitten by mix of luster and eye appeal when they graded her.

    If I recall correctly, I showed this coin to John Albanese back in 2012 in an NGC au53 holder. It was in a very early NGC holder and I think eye appeal gave the grade a bump. I loved the coin and thought the flash and detail were wonderful. Unfortunately (or fortunately) john showed me how to grade draped bust dollars and explained how the wear on the reverse eagle's leg and breast was too much for AU and should have been XF.

    I took a guess the coin is now pcgs xf45 which I think is the correct grade (now).
    Hopefully it now stickers this time around.

    A great coin!
    may the fonz be with you...always...

    PCGS graded it XF45, as several of you guessed.
    It is truly a trophy coin for me and the highlight of my collection.
    This was the sellers favorite coin and it took some convincing of my part to wrestle it away.

    Coin junkie's detective work on the Trueview. My photos taken by my camera rig on below. My photos don't do it justice and came out a tad dark when posting to photbucket.

    Thanks for looking!

    Well it's worth it to get off my lazy butt and login to say WOW. Trophy coin indeed! Congrats on your prize, and enjoy owning it! Grade-schmade, but sure, call it choice XF with AU eye appeal, or to put it another way, "find me a better one for the grade/price." You might find its equal, but not something better. image
