    First off I want to say I wasn't the knee handling the coin. Just a pic of when I bought it. This is my second bust halve in a month! I bought it for $40! Someone also offered to pay $10 for me. This is another step to my Bust Halve Journey! Might have some damage, but that makes it all the easier on a young collector. Anyone got a Overton # on this bad puppy?

    Neato! This is actually the Overton 110, the only 1829 with a Large Letters reverse. Not a high rarity, but sometimes they can bring a big premium when there hasn't been one listed on eBay in awhile. Nice coin!

    Not a bad coin and a great price. I wish I could find them that cheap. Its funny how the detail is really good everywhere except for her face. Its like shes a ghost on this piece. Nice addition.

    where is her face ? I would have held out for a better grade. you could always trade her up for a better 1. nice reverse. a date set of bust halves ? you are ambitious.

    Are you telling me this is a $100 coin?! :woot: It is a keeper. Maybe a grading one! But probably raw for my year set.
