    Got bigger photos? Looks to be a nice F15 or so. Nice surfaces and good crust factor. Looks like a pretty good strike too.

    Ya know, there have been a lot of bust half dollars posted recently, and I can pinpoint a major problem that many of them have.

    THEY AREN'T MINE!

    Based on the first pics, f12 looks about right.

    Kind of small pictures but it may go as high as VF25/30 IMO.

    Looks like an O-112 (R3), and that piece with that die would be a 25 IMO.

    Count me in with the Deputy on this one. The 112 obverse die even on high grade examples seldom shows much detail on stars, drapery, clasp, etc. VF 20 to 25.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Nice coin. My best guess at the grade is a strong fine shot at vf20. Nice coin. imagematteproof

    I realize that the pics aren't great, but it's an easy VF according to Photograde. Thanks for the opinions.

    The date digits are not aligned properly with the dentils for this to be obv #7, and star 13 is rotated wrong for this obverse. I see this obverse as #6, making the O-111 marriage. I hope I am correct because this marriage is R4. Grade guess is F-18. JMHO

    I agree that the coin is an easy VF
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Hey Mozin. GREAT CALL!
    I took another look (this time more carefully). and you pegged it right on. I used the dentils under the 1 in the date. On the O-112, the 1 is centered over the space between dentils, and in the O-111 its pretty much centered over a dentil. Kudos!!!
    I'll pay more attention and take my time next time.
