This is the first of a few purchases I made today at the Westford MA show. I am really starting to like Busties! Opinions on grade, color, or comments welcome!

    Nice coin.Looks like O108a.The easiest diagnostic on this one is A3 is filled on the rev.

    I'd call that one EF all day.image

    I really like that coin as XF. And O-108a as mepot said. Nice pickup!
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    shouldn't that coin be darker? it looks like it had a recent dip
    and strip. since it is so old though, XF45.

    Better pic to show color and contrast. Had the setting too high in the lighting........

    The pictures do not show any luster, so I would say XF 45. The reverse toning looks right, but I have some suspicions about the obverse. It just does not look quite right to me. My guess is the coin has seen some light cleaning, and picked up color somewhere along the years. One never knows what the grading service will say, until the coin is submitted to them.

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

    Pretty coin, I'd say AU53 or 55.
