The 1826 AU58 CAC CBH has already been bid up to $1500 not including the BP so far. Nice premium.

    Wow. That's just nuts.



    It's not a bad coin. But the cut on the jaw, scratch above the date, fingerprint right obverse, and numerous black spots on the reverse knock it out of premium-58 pricing, to me.

    I agree.

    It's really not much of a premium at all considering the coin is the equivalent of many MS61's and MS62's. The problem is it is actually mis-graded by today's market acceptable standards. That's an AU58 from the 1970's and early 1980's. And even back then, most of the dealers I knew would have sold it as Unc. I never saw a coin like that graded and priced as AU back in my early days. The small scratch is unfortunate, and maybe why it was netted down from 62/61 to 58.

    Will probably in up in a 63 holder unless someone just buys it for a 58 set.

    Stacks many times takes horrible closeup pictures and when you look at the coin in the slab it may very well be a colorful coin that many would like
