[QUOTE="okbustchaser, post: 2438812, member: 72642"]150 bucks won't do much for the earlier dates (pre-1824), but will get the later dates in VF. Expect to spend twice that for most of the other dates. Still won't cut it for 1807 or 1815. :( Just be aware that bust half fever is extremely contagious. Type coins lead to date sets (where you are now). Date sets lead to RedBook sets. Redbook sets lead eventually to Overton die marriages. I bought a single bust half back in 1977. Don't be like me!;) Edit to add: Actually, welcome to the club. If you do decide to pursue the series let me know if I can ever help. Jim[/QUOTE]
