Very interested in your opinions on this one, especially opinions of the BHNC guys, and if you want to guess the grade too, have at it
I have it down as a O-112, and it has a about a 20deg CCW reverse rotation. My understanding is the O-112 is a common marriage for this date.

Grade? AU 50, maybe 45 if the graders were hung over.
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
But I'm not a Draped coinage expert by any means - Capped stuff is my thing, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
Hey, you know his mind was somewhere else (where, we are not sure yet), because when I prodded him via PM, he came back with half dime!
Anyway, I do appreciate the comments ... please keep them coming.
I'll reveal later tonight or tomorrow after we get a few more (hopefully) ...

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
<< <i>I'm going to be conservative and say XF45 but if the luster is there... AU50. Great piece! >>
Great looking coin though
I like her as a 50
Damn some of these girls get expensive!
As for the grade:
NGC graded her as an EF45, and I agree. She has claims to a higher grade, and maybe worthy, but I like her as a solid, attractive 45. Luster just isn't quite enough IMO, and she isn't quite as wholesome as it might take otherwise.

<< <i>Just look at that pretty old girl!! I'll go with AU-50. VERY nice!!

ohmygawd, I love this! Definitely using it sometime (hope you don't mind).
That movie is classic!
And OP, even with the "funky" surfaces, she still is a well-struck, well-preserved Bustie! Hang onto her!
