    You said it's "fine looking".

    Hey, what's all that goin' on under the first zero in the date? I ain't up on my Bust dollar varieties, having owned a grand total of one.

    ...which incidentally was pretty similar in grade to yours, also an 1800, but possibly cleaned (color wasn't as nice as yours). I bought it as a raw F15, figured it for F12 at least, sent it to ANACS, and they VG08'ed it, which disappointed me. (At least they didn't net grade it.) I thought their grade rather harsh, though. It should have gotten a VG10 at the very least.

    Like my 1799, your "E. Pluribus Unum" is weak which keeps this coin at "fine", but it is a nice one, especially the obv.

    F-12 obverse, VG-8 reverse, so I'm going VG-10.

    It's Fine, in more ways than one.
    Damn man....you have some VERY nice coins!
    Not only a hot wife, great looking house, and good weather, but also some sweet coins!

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Looks like a F12 to me.
