    If you had to choose one or the other to collect, which would you choose, would you choose the Bust half dollar or the Walking Liberty half dollar?

    Ok, made my mind up - Walking Liberty because I like the design better.

    Bust half dollar is the easy choice. My collection in 100 coins strong. Walkers are walkers but Busties are a cult following.

    A lot of views, but where are the votes? Come on people, if you had to make a choice, what would it be?

    Don't have any Bust dollars, but since I am a sucker for old coins, I gotta vote for them.

    I like both designs, but my prospects for actually collecting Busts are pretty slim.

    Although I can appreciate a nice Walker, my heart belongs to the Bust halves... :)

    Although I like Bust Halves, I was nowhere around when they were in circulation. On the other hand the last Walking Liberty Half Dollars were minted in 1947 so there were still a number in circulation when I was young. It was a big thrill to get one in change, even got a Canadian once in awhile but never a Bust Half.:D I'm just sayin'!!

    I like the WLH design but the history and variety of handmade bust halves wins hands-down.

    Since I don't have to choose, and I don't collect either, I call it a draw since I like the designs on both.

    Bust Half hands down. I'll take a plain jane from 200 years ago compared to a mass produced piece any day.
