What do you think of my FIRST Capped Bust?

I just bought this coin and its my first Capped Bust, I especially like it because of its tone. It is the most expensive buy I have to date and I am absolutely STOKED. I'm thinking its somewhere near a VF-30/40.

I am literally just comparing pictures of this coin with others on the heritage auction. But I think I got one heck of a deal!

Oops lol I just switched my profile pic to it. Ill post them all here

 

Very nice! I would be happy as well.

 

Wow very nice!

 

Color seems iffy. If you like it, I'm happy for you.

 

I'm very new to collecting so i'm more into coins I think look cool and don't cost as much ha

 

Maybe not so iffy. Could be your 'white balance'. I do like it though.

 

Very pretty CBH! Congrats on a nice coin. Now you have to figure out which Overton it is... Always fun to research varieties.

 

I looked up overton and saw its the variations. If im right i believe that its square bottom 2, sm letters, sm date. Again, just a guess though ha

 

No, NO, nO......Overton number required..........

 

And I've got perilous ability to do so, so maybe your better at it? I know Frank is stellar at this sort of thing. @Treashunt

he da man

 

He'll be hear, Early In The Morning..........

 

sorry im confused. It isnt the variation type? I looked into it more and its the cast used for this specific batch? Much more than just lettering sizing correct? @Treashunt I would love your input! I like to learn about this stuff!

 

Looks VF, but futzed with. Also scratched on the reverse. O-110, so it seems. Great entry into this series. Be patient and you'll learn which coins are the best buys.

 

Me too. Frank will point a way........

 

If he blasted, bloody, gets up on time.........and he will. He's up early like me. Old guys like to get up early. Keeps us ahead of you modern pukes who got's a bunch to learn yet.

 

Heck. For that matter, I've still much to learn.........

 

I wouldn't kick it out of my collection.
