I think this guy needs a new grading book....

I hope I'm not going to piss somebody off here, but this bust half is another example of "subjective grading".........

VF.....Very Fugly.

That coin is weird. Everything is warn smooth EXCEPT "Liberty", which looks very bold and with some luster.

Almost like the seller tweaked the picture to make the Liberty readable, and "qualify" for a higher grade?

There IS something wrong with that half.

Numismatics · May 12, 2005 10:00AM

What does he mean by "VF"?
Does he try to said Very Funny?

Cleaned and retoned.

Dam, that is one BUTT ULGLY ASS coin. Maybe the dip is the right trick for this one.

This guy used to have nice coins......but I do believe he misplaced his photograde book. Check out the walkers & the grades..............Linky poo

It is an 1820 so it must be worth $20.

you make the grade and call it what it's worth to you!

...but I'll start the bidding at 100!!!

very unusual wear

it looks fake

Looks real, VG details, probably cleaned way in the past. Many, Many bust halves were.

To call that a VF? It's like some of the ebay scammers that show a coin with VG details, but in the title they say: 1802 Draped Bust - $50,000 and then in the description they'll say: This coin lists for $50,000 in MS 65 but you decide the grade, as I'm not a professional.

I am no expert here, but counterfiet trade dollars have a more even relief. Giving way to a even wear of the devices, rather than starting on the normally highest points.
I wonder if this applies here. ?

I think this guy needs a new grading book....
