I have not posted this new large cent addition in the US Forum yet. However, it is not destined for my collection - it is a gift for my eldest son...
I don't collect bust halves, however, seeing your examples it sure looks tempting. :):):)
1858 Half Dime 'over inverted date'. An interesting variety. This is the second example I've found. I honestly do not know what I paid for it...
Good on you Michael Webb for your efforts on this issue. I hope your are successful. I too have a soft spot for Chile and hate to see this...
Yes, I figured worn as it is and with rim bumps (minor) the chances are its good. Worse that can happen is I am out the price of two (large) pizzas.

A grade question for you guys, and a query about taking good pictures. I was taking new pictures of this 1814 JR-5 bust dime and noticed that...

S-122 ?

I have never had a second chance opportunity to purchase a coin, as TIF describes. However, there are many coins in my collection that I puchased...
Amazing finds, galba68! I wish I could go looking again... I used to really enjoy it never knowing what was going to come up next. In the worst...
Beautiful Faustina, Thierry, (and a good picture too!)
