    I just wanted show off this 1809 Bust Half I picked up today. There was something I loved about the coin, and I just had to have it. Any thoughts and comments are appreciated (The reverse picture shows some dust that was on the 2X2, not the coin).

    Looks like a winner to me, the reverse pic is a bit fuzzy. The obverse appears to be in the high VF range.

    Nice coin!

    Yeah, the reverse pic didn't turn out great. I will try to get another reverse pic up soon.

    It has some striking weakness on the reverse, which is very typical, overall a very nice coin, that I would put somewhere in the xf range.
