Ok this is the first time for me but,

You suck,

and my lady Doris says so too.

A real nice Draped Bust.

The other a very nice too, but we love those bustie coins.

Cool set of halves John! I don't have time at the moment to determine grades. Nice.

ARCO · February 17, 2004 9:21AM

I'll try

1807 = XF+

Hawaiian Half = XF40-45 (a guess) Damnn fine looking Hawaiian by the way!

1858 Seated half = XF40-45

1904 Barber Half = Hmmm. Didn't I use to own that one?

1913-D Barber half = XF40

jdimmick · February 17, 2004 9:22AM

Here's my guess!

1807 Xf-45
1883 Dont have a clue but say Vf-30
1858 Vf-35/borderline xf-40
1904 Vf-25
1913 Vf-35 or 40

JrGMan2004 · February 17, 2004 9:24AM

Well, lets see... you can start by sending the 1807 and the 1904 my way...

Nice lookin coins, I like Circulated Barbers, and most older circulated silver, like Capped Busts...

coinkat · February 17, 2004 9:51AM

1807... ef40 These can come weakly struck and this one in terms of strike may be slightly above average. The coin does not look original but it is still a nice coin. I think it falls short of 45

The Hawaiian is probably a VF35

The 1858 is a solid EF40...perhaps alittle short of 45

1904 Barber is VF30

1913 Barber is VF35

These are my thoughts and they are all keepers. Barbers seem to be under appreciated in this grade

Nice 1807

Looks like a good shot at AU50

I'll guess that they're all graded 40 and that's "why", but the 1807 looks 55 in the scan.

roadrunner · February 17, 2004 12:53PM

I'd concur with Mr. Eureka on all being XF40. The barbers appear weaker than the other coins but I'd stick with XF40. The bust half with the exception of some strike weakness in the mid hair area, looks like an XF45.

I would say all very nice, VF coins,

except 1st coin ,which looks XF-45.

But, what do I know, I'm just a bear.

toyonakataro · February 18, 2004 8:40AM

I like that 1807....very nice strike on the reverse...AU53-55 is my guess.

1946Hamm · February 18, 2004 8:48AM

1807- EF45 Maybe Au50, Nice coin
all the rest are 35-45 range.

All are keepers.

Draco · February 18, 2004 12:09PM

1807 AU50 - nice detail on the reverse, obvserse hits may earn it a net grade of 40, however.
1883 - first one I've even seen, but appears XF40
1858 - XF40 - good shield detail
1904 - VF-35 too much wear on the ribbon for 40
1913 - also a 35

Draco · February 18, 2004 12:11PM

. . . .I just can't take my eyes off that 1807 half. . . .

Stuart · February 18, 2004 12:12PM

John: I can't get past the 1807 --That's a nice Bust Half!!

Obv XF-45 to AU-50
Rev AU-53

Net Grade: AU-50

coinlieutenant · February 19, 2004 12:39AM

All right. Sorry about the long wait on the grades (Stuart)

. Some of you might be dissappointed since not all are in holders. I am sending in the 1807 and the 1904 on Monday...

Here is what I grade them and the ones that NGC graded for comparison.

The 1807 is raw and unsubmitted. I grade it XF45 with the possibility of going to AU.

The 1858-O is in an NGC AU50 holder. I graded it XF40 when I bought it. They were on crack but I will take it.

The 1904 is raw and unsubmitted. I grade it XF40.

The 1883 Hawaiin is in an NGC XF40 holder. That is what I graded it too.

The 1913-D is in an NGC XF40 holder as well. I graded it as such.
