A lovely, original Capped bust half

Not a 10/10 for me, it's been lightly cleaned.

It has been cleaned.

Hmmmmm, I generally try to be favorable, but here it's tough to agree. The coin has nice remaining detail and it has a bit of a circam look to it with darker stuff outlining lighter devices. Like the others have said, it shows evidence of cleaning. There isn't any "layering" or depth to the patina. It looks like all the toning happened at once, after something polished up all but the deepest crevices.



I'm really not the expert here, and I'd like to hear what others have to say, but to me the coin isn't original at all.

Been cleaned, has "No Life" to the surfaces.

If you love her, that is all that matters.



Congrats on your new coin....my favorite early silver series for sure.

Acceptable for "market original" these days. But 8/10 on being technically original as others have already mentioned. I see some wipe marks above the date. The upper reverse is somewhat bright. It was at one time considerably darker in the fields. Better than most.

I disagree with the "crowd" here. That is a pretty nice example.
I wouldn't consider it to be impaired, value-wise.

I would call it washed long ago, but not abrasively cleaned. A pretty nice example, much more original than most!

Yes, dipped a while back. Nice surfaces. Very wholesome. I like it as a 40/35.

Perfect 10/10 eye appeal? Not to my eyes, but there's nothing wrong with it either, as far as I'm concerned. It's a wholesome looking coin, as mentioned.

I totally concur with Lance.

Tone down the lighting a bit and I bet you would get different answers. As with all pictures it's hard to say but looks pretty nice to me.

Nothing wrong with it except no eye appeal.
