<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2074984, member: 19165&quot;]For $500, you can get a really nice CBH. The later dates (1829-1836) will be cheaper, and you can definitely get a nice EF-45 to AU-53 for your price range. Most dates can be had in EF-40 or above for $500. </p><p><br /></p><p>Look for one already graded by NGC or PCGS. Look for a problem free coin, with smooth attractive surfaces (at the EF-45 range, you should definitely see traces of luster as well). Look for one with good original color (you don&#039;t want a white, pale, dipped out coin - you want nice even, grey color). If you can find one, get one with some attractive toning. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know what show you are going to or how big it is, but many of the smaller local shows will have limited quantities of this type of material. Don&#039;t be disappointed if you can&#039;t find anything you like. </p><p><br /></p><p>And as an example of what to look for, this EF-45 cost me $330 at FUN recently: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Bust%20Halves/IMG_0218copy_zps566dafe6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Bust%20Halves/IMG_0221copy_zpsde494761.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
