I bought both of these at the Parsippany, NJ Coin Show!

1805 Draped Bust Quarter NGC G 6.

1808 Bust Half Dollar PCGS VF 35

And a closeup for fun: I love coins that look like they are smiling!

LOVE the 08 Half

Cappers are nice coins but you gotta love the Draped Busties.

Congrats on a couple of nice pickups.

Nice pick-ups

AnkurJ · May 3, 2010 1:12PM

Thanks,
Even though the quarter was low grade, it had some nice details. I love old american coins with genuine wear.

new 1808 as well, yet to arrive from wis. xf40, I've yet to see one of these sharply struck. anyone have any pics of sharp 1808s ?

That 1808 half looks to be undergraded.

kaz · May 5, 2010 11:02AM

Nice pickups, thanks for posting them

Flatwoods · May 5, 2010 11:25AM

Nice coins. I agree that the '08 is very nice and definitely not overgraded.

What grade does it look?

JRocco · May 5, 2010 12:40PM

Solid XF
45 by the looks of the pic.

Hold on there you NY cowboy

I'm seeing a wear pattern that might be called 40, the reverse right wing facing not so much. But, I'm not seeing any evidence of luster whatsoever so if the image is accurate I agree with the 35. There also might be hairlines etc. that kept it down. Now, my friend Mr. Rocco, please don't start getting too lenient on these.

Edit to add, sometimes the TPG don't care about the luster, sometimes they do.

JRocco · May 5, 2010 1:08PM

But look at that right wing stman!
Look at those arrowheads and the hair above her eye...
I bet there is some luster hidden under that hazy toning.
As for lines, I think I am seeing some N/S stuff going on, but not too bad from here.

Now I would feel a lot better with your grade if you gave her the once over with the coin
in hand and looking at her from angles only known to geometry majors...

Good to hear from you and I hope you are doing well.

And I have said it before and I will say it again....
He is one smart man that stman.

Yeah, it's been a while but I'd like to tear it up in person. I do like the coin though. I tear up my own coins and never add a point for ownership.

stman · May 5, 2010 1:19PM

So Jrocco, would you call it a 45+ and would that be a high end + middle, or low end +?

AnkurJ · May 5, 2010 1:23PM

It does have some luster, and the toning in hand is very nice. Just tough to photograph.

AnkurJ · May 5, 2010 1:49PM

Here is a half dollar that matches well with the quarter:

Nice 1808 half dollar. If you paid VF money for that coin...pat yourself on the back. Regardless if it "slabs" as a VF or EF, it's a nice coin worth premium money.

It slabbed as a G 6.
