Finally! I acquired my capped bust half dollar.

It looks like a nice coin. The strike was good and surfaces look nice. Not crazy about the color though. I would give it a VF-30 and value it at around $120.

Nice coin! You must have gotten a raise!

 

Not really lol. I just sold off the start of my dime album and a bunch of other low value coins I had in a pile.

 

Yep...Nice one! Comparing it to mine which is a PCGS VF30, I do think yours has a slightly better strike and would probably go 35.

 

Nah, Brian.....ya got it all wrong.

Give a man a fish - feed him for a day.

Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer with his buddies all day........

 

I thought it was, "Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he's gonna need a boat"

 

and when you give a man a boat, he's gonna need some fish

 

Give a man a boat and he's going to need a lot of money... I know.

 

You're a good man, going above and beyond to help a numismatic brother.

Now, when is that boat leaving?

 

I'm not big on fish, but beers on a boat, I'm all over that.

 

Nawlins, and not up for a fish fry to go with that beer?

 

Or beers on land...thats OK too!

 

Well we have one like everyday don'tcha know. I got some fried shrimp mixed in with my onion rings today. I mean I almost had to send it back, but I decided to muscle through it.

 

Amen to that, brother (minus the beer)... :halo:

 

Other than possible hurricanes, living on the Gulf Coast must be nice. One of the days I gotta git down der and get me a shrimp Po'Boy.

 

I had one today, sure was good. The ANA show is here next year.

 

That will be cool. I'll bet you can't wait to go.

 

Not when you can have Boudain and crawfish pies

 

Getting back on subject...

The coin is graded VF-35 by Anacs

I paid $97.50 with buyers premium.

 

I saved up some money for the Dallas show, but I got sent to Wyoming for work. So I should have a good bankroll going by the time it gets here. I'm going after an early (1880s) gold proof set this and a proof large cent for my proof type set this year.
