Two more are coming and I'll show them when they arrive. This one is for a XF/AU Capped Bust Half Dime set I'm slowly putting together. The foggy spot on the reverse is a rub on the slab. This is another early commemorative for the set I'm also slowly putting together. Both the Half Dime and Commemoratives sets are mid-priority collections in work. This is the type of items I pick up when the price is right and I can't find one of my high priority items. __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that don't.   01-06-2009, 11:14 AM   #2 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,677 Kanga: Nice, I really like those 'crustie busties'.
