You can get a nice Bust reasonably. Here are a few examples. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1798-US-Draped-Bust-Silver-Dollar-1-Heraldic-Eagle-Reverse-NGC-VF25-/300739672822?_trksid=p4340.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D555001%26algo%3DPW.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D7%26meid%3D820841266593458375%26pid%3D100009%26prg%3D1015%26rk%3D5%26 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1802-1-1-SILVER-DRAPED-BUST-DOLLAR-PCGS-VF-30-WIDE-DATE-NICE-ORIGINAL-/170875895589?_trksid=p4340.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D555001%26algo%3DPW.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D7%26meid%3D820795261287637205%26pid%3D100009%26prg%3D1015%26rk%3D5%26
Draped bust coins in any denomination are really tough for me to touch for anything under $5k. There's just too many problem coins out there for me to feel comfortable buying one. Although, they are the prettiest early coins I believe the mint's produced.
Ruben, Remember, I'm a type collector at heart, so for me rarity doesn't overcome problems. You are, of course, free to choose differently....Mike
Now I like the F-25 better then the F-30 . I'm going to have to think about it . I really thought they were out of my league . It would be the most I ever spent by 2X .
It doesn't have to be hair-lined or a problem in other ways. Here is a modest one that I bought for a little more than $2k. I don't collect the series but I do admire them. Lance.
Now that I would spend 2K on , she's a beauty . Just cash in a small CD that's only earning .90% anyway . What did she grade this looks way better then VF , more like XF .
VF was a good guess. 30. I wanted 35 and would have been ecstatic with XF. Thanks for liking it. Lance.
