    Pretty coin, new addition? Or just feeling nostalgic?

    Definitely not a new addition.

    Haven't bought any coins since early 2012.

    Took a break up until last week and now feeling nostalgic I guess.

    That's one clean, but not cleaned 1808/7......very sweet pickup. Congrats drddm.

    I'm south of Philly and NY.....just getting light snow.....thank you, Lord! image

    Thanks for the kind words everyone.

    Although you can't tell from the true view, it has the luster of a 58, but the wear on the highpoints is why its in a 55 holder.

    Consider yourself very lucky Goldbully...we are in the middle of a blizzard here in NY.

    What a beauty! If I didn't have an AU that I loved I'd talk you out of that one.

    The first overdate of the CBH series...the only overdate of the original design. And not excessively lapped.

    That handsome example should bring a healthy price if you sell it. Will you? I didn't think so.

    That early die state, without the crack under the date, is worth a premium. Lovely Bustie!
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.
  • My favorite year in the series. Beautiful piece.
    Let's try not to get upset.

    Better looking than a lot of dates I've been on.

    I love the look of those early die state stars!

    That is a very nice Bust half.... Cheers, RickO
  • Nice coin, no distracting issues. Should CAC IMO.

    Thank you again everyone.

    I didn't realize how uncommon the EDS was until I viewed many of this overdate.
  • Always a cool coin!

    Please get nostalgic more often.
    Your collection is always good to see. Good to see you posting again.
    I too have taken a break from active buying for a while as life and paying off the kids education has taken center stage.
    But I am getting itchy ...
