My CBH is here.

Look at that, I was pretty much dead on, I'm pretty sure it would be a 30 at PCGS. Not a bad coin.

I think, other than some obvious wear on the high points, it is a very nice coin. I would not kick it out of my collection.

 

Good job!

X-ray tech, or any medical imaging could be a good fit for you. The pay is good, and if you can get into a bigger hospital/facility, the benefits can be good, too.
A friend is retired from X-ray tech. She retired at 55 years old. She made good money and has a great pension with free health care insurance.

 

One of my mothers' friends is an X-Ray Tech, she was telling me $60k is a down year for her, lol. She's gotta be 50 or so by now.

 

Nice Bust half , now you have to get Parsleys Bust Half book .

 

Plus you get decent medical insurance .

 

There are many schools in IL. You might be able to do it in 2 years. Look into things like Pell Grants for tuition assistance.

 

I'm still trying to capture the toning, this is the best I can do for now.

 

That pic does put a new perspective on the clasp and curl.

 

This is the best I can do with what I have. I'm going to have a buddy of mine image them.

Nice crusty bustie. Very nice.

 

That looks great. I'd love to own one some day.

 

Very nice coin Tim.

Man, I envy you. I remember the first CBH I ever owned. It was a 1832, probably the most common date in similar condition to yours. I would stare at that thing, and take it out all of the time all the while not believing I could actually own such a thing. By the time I stopped collecting I owned about 80-100 of them, but not one of them EVER gave me as much pleasure as that lowly 1832 in VF gave me.

 

Nice one, Tim. For all the Bust Halves I have, I still don't have a reeded edge type.

All the talk about (au vf or xf) I don't care but if you get desperate enough being without a job and all and might consider selling it get back to me , I may be interested I don't really collect these but the picture looks pretty good to me and i think I could make some money on it down the road...... No Pressure but keep me in mind if you have to sell... Grampa...:thumb:

 

Hey Tim,

I don't know if you are aware of this or not, but our own Tom B (Dr. Thomas Bush) wrote the introduction for a new book A Registry Of Die Varieties Of Reeded Edge Half Dollars 1836-1839 by Dick Graham

Maybe he will weigh in with his opinion on your coin.
