1819 Bust Half NEWP

Bought this coin today for standard 1819 money, but I was pretty sure it was the overdate (1819/8.) As such I believe I got a pretty good price. It's not perfect, but should be within market standards, I think it will probably certify. I was originally thinking of flipping the coin, but now I'm thinking about holding onto it. It has a charming originality to it I think.

What are your thoughts? Overdate? Grade? Like/dislike?

    I think it has a 50/50 chance of certifying because of those reverse pin-sized digs

    Not bad otherwise on originality image

    Funny thing is, they aren't that noticeable in hand...they look TERRIBLE in the pics. There are some other tics that look a bit worse in hand though...so whatdoyado?

    These big blown up pictures make mountains out of molehills. In your case they make craters out of pinholes. Don't know if it will grade or not but I like it and think it is a nice original coin.

    This is the O. 104 1819/8. R. 1. I like the look of this coin very much and I can see why you're thinking of hanging on to it. The reverse digs are more like stars in the sky behind the eagle's head. Nice grab!

    I had a CBH with similar digs that I sent in to PCGS. It would not certify.

    It's a nice looking coin and doesn't seem to be messed with, I really don't care about TPG services when it comes to personal preferences.

    She's purdy and I like'er. image

    PS I also agree with bosco's comments.

    Yeah, I've had the same thing happen...course I've also had similar things certify, so I think Stone probably nailed it. Probably a 50/50. Maybe take more than one attempt.

    Honestly I'm thinking of eventually doing a dansco of halves, that's where she'd end up. I will probably just keep her until such a time I'm serious about the album.

    Nice looking coin, with excellent details.
    Unquestionably authentic and original.
    I have lots of em like that, and they are a lot more fun
    than the certified ones, if you really like to look at them. image
    Golf time!!

    What do you guys think a grade would be?...both net and details.
  • jayPemjayPem Posts: 4,082 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I think she looks 30 something !
    Very nice, and I'd keep her raw with or without the pin holes...
  • GABGAB Posts: 641 ✭
    Net XF with AU details. Probably a 45+ all things considered.
    It really would depend on how much some of the dings deter from
    the look in hand. Well struck, with good details helps it alot.
    Golf time!!

    Sorry, but I don't think PCGS will grade this one.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    Regardless of whether it would be graded or not, the coin is a keeper and I wish I had it for my own.image

    it looks like a nice origianal coin from here. nice pick up image
  • yellowjacketyellowjacket Posts: 1,809 ✭
    I would think this coin would do well attributed by variety even if it's in a PCGS Gennie holder. Buyer and seller can make their own decisions about grade and price. Nice find!
