It was a lousy day for taking photos - shot about 40 on this puppy with various lights. It was either dark, too much glare or just the wrong color - so I gave up. The quarter came out about right for the quarter - could not resist getting this coin. Quarter is not perfect, but I love these old bust coins. As always feel free to post opinions - good, bad or indifferent. Some pictures of the cracks - could not get a good picture of the one across 50 C. __________________ the other mark Best Baan Community Empty airtite seeks unwanted coins.

I am scared to collect these as they are so expensive and I can't afford what I currently collect. I think the longer one collects perhaps the more attracted they are to the older stuff. I thought about collected Seated Halfs but there are too many and they are all at least $500 a piece for decent grades. Maybe someday.

I don't collect CBH's, but that's a nice one! XF-45/AU sound about right? __________________ 20th Century Uncirculated Whitman Type Set Folder: 32/37 (86.5%)   03-09-2009, 12:00 AM   #7 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 6,189 Quote: Originally Posted by the_man12 Nice coins.

You can get a lot of them for under 500 bucks. So far I have not paid $500 for a capped bust half - not even the AU58 coin I have. I actually like the coins from vf to xf, but I also have a few goods and fines - especially in draped bust halves. PS - Thanks for the opinions. __________________ the other mark Best Baan Community Empty airtite seeks unwanted coins. All sizes welcome. Last edited by mark_h; 03-09-2009 at 12:01 AM.
