  ef-45 to AU 53 Depends on the luster, AND THE GRADING SERVICE

  good point pbfloyd. It is PCGS and some luster is visable through all the crust.
  
  I will post the grade tomorrow morning. Then i'm off to florida with the baseball team for a week

  if graded very recently ... 45
  if done a while ago ... 50
  
  take a guess at variety ... 0-118
  
  regardless of what PCGS thought...real nice crusty busty...especially for a first time purchase

  Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free

  I am going to say EF45. A very nice bustie.

  A tad weak strike but an AU50 is reasonable. Congrats.

  That Bustie is so much better than the first one I bought, and I was an adult at the time.
  
  My guess is PCGS said XF45.

  I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

  EF45, nice wings but the obverse doesn't have the same detail.

  I gotta get up for my flight tomorrow earlier then i thought so i'll post the grade now, and i must say, wow! Most of you nailed the grade--XF45 in pcgs holder. The coin is a O-118 like Seaeaglecoins thought, good job.
