Picked this half up relatively inexpensively. Had obtained a few others during the last year. I think this series of halves are casting some sort of collecting spell on me. I seem to be seeking them out often.
They are Mong my favorites as well. The halves come out much better than the dimes and quarters for sure.
Yup, it's a fever, and an aspirin won't fix it. I have spells myself. The die marriage appears to be O-115, R2. (Slightly uncommon.)
The well circulated Busts are not only suprsingly inexpensive, but they are HIGHLY collectable with huge histories and are beautiful in the hand. It is a worthwhile area to collect (much better IMIO than running after conditional rarities). ENJOY!
I'm having a great time collecting these. Many years ago these didn't cost very much. It's not that way any longer. Wish I had bought more.
Capped Bust Halves are my all-time favorites; here are 3 of my raw CBH favorites; 1809-not the best condition but the eye appeal is great; and 2-1834’s large & small dates; better condition than the 1809 & the patina is amazing!
