    Congratulations! You will soon be hooked. I like how you took the opportunity to photograph the edge of the coin, one of the more intriguing aspect of bust halves. You'll be looking for an Overton book soon!

    Awsome coins...

    But prop em up with something other than your finger for photos. Doesnt matter too much with circ coins, but purrdy coins like those can quickly turn ugly from fingerprints

    That's terrific! Nice coins, too! We hardly ever have threads about these, and it's good to see another collector take the plunge.

    Congrats on 2 nice coins. I especially like that 31. The shield is jumping out at you on that one.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Bust halfs are my favorite coins, lots of history, charm and character can be had for a reasonable price. The 31's a looker and while the 32's showing some use she's better off then I'll be at 175...

    Great start
