Just upgraded my VF25 to this one. Has pretty rose toning on the obverse with rainbow rim toning. The reverse also has nice rim toning. CAC Approved!

Guess the grade! SHE IS GRADED BY PCGS AS XF40!

    I'm going to guess there's a little more luster than appears in the photos. AU 50.

    Tough to grade because of strike issues with this issue. My gut reaction is 55 but I'm seeing a lot of lower grade opinions so I'll allow myself to be swayed by the crowd to a 50. It looks lustrous and very nice.

    It looks to be a strong XF coin, but I would be fairly suprised to see it in such a holder. My PCGS guess would be 50.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Beautiful coin, Ankur. As to its grade, I would guess AU50 with an O-112. jmo.

    I didn't comment because I knew the grade but privately I said I thought it was XF45, shot at 50. Here is my XF40 and the OP's coin looks a bit stronger.

    The OP's coin is significantly better in my book.
    I was thinking 45 slight chance at 50 when I saw the pics.

    She is better than a 40
    The TPG's don't always get the 07 and 08 CBH's right.
    They should.....but they don't.

    It is very seldom I disagree with my good friend, astute collector buddy JRocco, but I would grade the thing a solid 40 and no better from the images.

    But I have to admit that I can't remember the last time he
    was wrong when it came to grading an 1807....image

    I still think what I think....but he makes me think it less

    When all else fails, weak strike etc. I go to the right wing facing on reverse. And of course luster. Although the TPG's don't always go by luster. Hence, we sometimes see a dead fish with no luster in AU holders.

    PCGS tends to undergrade 1807 Capped Bust Half Dollars, by not accounting enough for the weak strike which is normal for the year 1807. The Small Star and the Large Star varieties are downgraded much more so than the O-112 50/20.

    What makes the 1807 CBHs so difficult to grade is because the weak strike can occur in six different areas, sometimes in more than one area on any given specimen:

    1. Dentils

    2. "LIBERTY"

    3. Stars on one or both sides

    4. Clasp

    5. Scroll on reverse

    6. Eagle's wing, usually the left one

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

    It looks like a solid AU that PCGS "net" graded down to EF for reasons unknown. Is there a small
    scratch or some hairlines that do not show on the images? Since they saw the coin and I am only
    seeing the images, I think I will defer to the experts.
