<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JimD, post: 35, member: 67&quot;]My favorite subject. :lol: </p><p>With over 450 varieties(Capped Bust 1807-1836), the sky is the limit on the kind of set you can work on. Personaly, I decided to put together a year set when I started collecting Bust halves about a year ago. The only really tough date is the 1815/2. I started collecting BH&#039;s in the F/EF range to start with but somewhere along the line started picking up coins in the AU range. Your budget will probably be the determining factor on the type of set you put together. The following are some points I learned along the line.</p><p>Whatever grade range you decide on, try to find the coin with the best eye appeal availiable for that grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Be very cautious when buying &quot;raw&quot; coins online as the vast majority are &quot;problem&quot; coins. It would be my advise to buy coins graded by PCGS, NGC, or ANACS or a trusted online dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have time, check out the link to some of the Bust Halves I have collected in the last year. They range from good to ms and most have been graded by PCGS, NGC, and ANACS, and should be a fair representation of the different grades.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://groups.msn.com/JimDurkop/mycoins.msnw?pgmarket=en-us" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://groups.msn.com/JimDurkop/mycoins.msnw?pgmarket=en-us" rel="nofollow">http://groups.msn.com/JimDurkop/mycoins.msnw?pgmarket=en-us</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
