I've always wanted one of these. Many of you know that I collect Bust Halves, but I've always wanted to go back further. Flowing Hair halves have always been beyond my reach - I've never found one in a grade I like, with they eye appeal I wanted, at the price I like, at the same time I had the money saved to afford it. Well... this time it happened. So, guess the Overton (this should be ridiculously easy), and guess the PCGS grade (problem free - the lines on the bust are emphasized due to the direction of my lights). I'm so excited to own this piece!
Congrats PF....nice-looking coin....how has the price for the coin in the grade you wanted changed over the years ? My short-term Dream Coin is a 1908 No Motto Saint in MS-66 condition....my long-term Dream Coin would be an MCMVII High Relief, probably have to settle for AU-58. Both coins have come up in price the last 3-5 years.....the former because it was dragged up by the rise in gold from $1,800 to $5,000....the latter because a small glut from a hoard back in 2018 appears to have been digested. Trophy High Reliefs also drag up the entire sector.
EF details - scratched. Congratulations on your new dream coin. Isn't every coin we buy our dream coin? Or is that something we tell ourselves to substantiate the purchase? ENJOY!
