They are generally more weakly struck than later date coins, but some of these pieces are really amazing to see. I had an original-skinned one in EF, but sold it off years ago.

Mine isn't a true "Goddess". The beard doesn't reach Liberty's eye.
Here's one I used to own. She walked off (along with most of my busties) in a burglary back in 2003.
One I picked up just before Covid shutdown.
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Lovely example Brad!

We need some more….great coins!
Was the one that was stolen graded? Do you have the number?
Sold my O.111b PCGS AU53 bearded goddess last year 😢

I am sure it was hard to let it go….
I have yet to get one, but it's a neat variety! Whenever I get one, I want it to be at least a full drooler (chin to bust break), not one with just a tiny bit of spittle.

Yes, it was. But selling it allowed me to pick up some other very tough Redbook bust halves.

One of my pocket pieces...... yes in an airtite
Here's mine. I don't consider it a true bearded goddess, even though PCGS calls it one.
For the 1807 O.111 (b) die state -- the true bearded goddess, the chest-to-chin crack should be a heavy break, forming a solid lump just above chest, and eventually extending in lighter cracks across eye to headband. Also extending down across bust.
Sometimes wear erodes these diagnostics. But to me if they're absent the coin doesn't qualify.

Here...from Coinfacts...is a good example of a true bearded goddess.

That is and I am sure that the price would reflect it as well!
