    I've been working on my 7070 Dansco Album the last few weeks after getting some extra cash from some West Point quarters. Today, my first Capped Busts came and I absolutely love them!

    They are circulated,= which made them affordable to me...but I have to say, I really like the circam look on the half dollar!

    Post your own circulated capped busts!

    I feel like I did alright.
    The half was $40 and the 5c was $15.

    You must be lucky on those quarters I've only found one. Question how many W quarters have you found and total $ amount for selling as much as you have so far.

    I've found over 200 West Point Tall Grass Prairies so far. I've given away/traded about 20-30 and sold the rest at $10/quarter.

    Congrats @furryfrog02! ;) Unfortunately, I don't have one anymore as I sold it! Been kicking myself for selling it ever since. Shizzle happens but that's okay, I'm not perfect but I bet when I get another it will be better than the last one! :D

    Nice look to those bad boys.

    I have an 1833 half dime and an 1836 half. But alas...no pictures. Maybe later!

    I paid $45 for mine pretty fair.

    Not bad. I paid less than half that for mine. But it doesn't have as nice of details as yours.
    Are you able to see if yours is the flat 1 or the pointed 1? Hard to tell from your picture and since it is plugged.

    Looks like a pointed one which is more common? 20210330_211121.jpg

    I think the flat top is more common. I can't tell based on the close up picture you posted.

    I don't see the "10" on yours though is what I was trying to say. It looks like that's where the plug is.
