1825 Capped Bust Half -- Opinions/Comments

Greetings,

Was looking for thoughts, comments, and opinions on this coin. As you can see there is a small ding on the obverse near the bridge of her nose and has still some strong EF/XF detail.

Thanks
Ben

    My book isn't here, but if that is a 117 then it isn't bad; I do think that some searching will produce better.


    P.S. Happy belated birthday.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.
  • Thanks guys, yes she's an O-117 and the $$$ price on this beauty was right, so... image

    I think it is neat. I started going through all the CBH I have with the intention of selling, but the more I think about it....well, you know how it goes.

    Show us more pics! Bigger, more detail, truer color. Based on those you have to wonder. Was some serious dipping was done?

    I love the details though! But I wouldn't call that a small ding near the nose. Rather prominent, wouldn't you say?

    Better pictures will be forthcoming, gotta wait for her to arrive in the post.

  • Welll, here she is, O-117 -- R-4. Needless to say I was very pleasantly surprised, the dings on the obverse aren't too awfully distracting in hand ad she has some nice toning.
