Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.
The devices are not crisp enough for a coin with that much detail.
The color is all wrong.
I'm about to make my first foray into "bust" coinage. There's an 1822 bust half on my bid board that's a beauty. it's graded XF and looks great to me. Nice color too. Closes this monday and I'm getting it.

I am of the opinion that many of the coins which have caught your eye are cleaned, artificially toned, and have a myriad of other problems not mentioned (deliberately or not) by the sellers. Although you may not agree, I think you will find the certification process an eye opening experience and the sooner you do this the more money my advice will save you.

The coin you purchased looks unnatural. Go to any of the coin auction archives and look at coins of that series and you will see none of the NGC/PCGS graded with that "look". Coin has been retoned after being worked on. Save the grading fee or submit to ANACS for net grade.
The seller hides behind the cover of selling the coin for someone else and pleading ignorance and asking people to judge the coin for themselves. A powerseller with perfect feedback of over two thousand. This tells me there are alot of people to be scammed out there and they will never know unless they show their coins to experienced or professional collector/dealers.
Remember, there is no free lunch in coins and no deals. No one is going to give you something for nothing. How would they stay in business? Buying raw on ebay is tantmount to looking to be ripped off.
Good luck! Let us know how it turns out.

or, for more affordable "drooling"... something naturally circulated
Sorry, but your coin looks "processed" in some way

It would net down to maybe EF on a good day, but it's a common date so maybe worth VF money.

That being said, it is still a very handsome piece and I don't think you did so badly. I personally have little doubt that it's genuine.

Well....uhm..... until it comes time to sell, that is. Then the bottom line is a bit different!
