    So, I have recently fallen ill with the flu, but that isn't stopping me from doing this today. So which one would you rather have?

    None of the two, they don't have any eye appeal. I'd get a common year Bust half in a higher grade for that money. Sorry, not trying to be negative, but as my coin budget is limited, I am not looking at semi key dates.

    I already have the 14D, so I'll go for the bust.

    I like the die deterioration on the Bust Half - gives the coin some character.

    Neither one, I had the 14 D before and Not interested in getting it bk again. Bust is always good coin to have, but like other said, not too good looking. Better condition for the Bust would be nice but not this one.

    I'd take the half tho that one lacks appeal to me. Just not a fan if presidential coins at all

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    If the choice is between that particular bust half and that particular Lincoln, I'm going to have to choose the Lincoln. That bust half is cleaned and white - it is not attractive at all.

    However, given the choice between an attractive Bust half and an attractive Lincoln, I'll choose the Bustie every time.

    Between these two coins, I choose the Bustie.

    The half though it is really not appealing. I don't collect Lincolns.

    The color of the half is a little flat looking, but I still like it more than the cent. A 14-D Lincoln in VG is probably more common.

    The 1809 Bust half, once it has been removed from the God-awful plastic tomb.
