FUN was a great show. Seemed very busy to me. When I dropped by to submit coins to PCGS on Wednesday there must have been twenty people waiting in line. I've never seen that before.
I went a little overboard on spending so I came home with only a handful of capped bust halves. Here are a few. The 3rd is a tough R5+ which explains its lower grade. PCGS has only graded three higher.
I had no business buying the other two. I lost my head.

Great halves Lance!
Well, if you get carried away.... it's always nice to have nice coins to show for it. These are not ugly. Sounds like a fun FUN.

The 1827 is amazing!
Outstanding pickups!
All great grabs. The first is a stunner though!
Good taste! PCGS and CAC agreed. I've never owned a bust half at that level. I don't think I ever will again.
Lance.
WOW! Those look superb my friend👌
Very attractive coins. Congrats!

“Lower grade” he says....

High grade and perfect works of art coins, Lance!
Nice!
Edited to add ... even your 'low grade' 1823 O.109 is beautiful. That's very challenging coin above VF. Great job finding that one!

Thanks, @astrorat. There was no real detective work, finding it. The coin was part of the Downey MB50 auction at FUN.

Wow
That O-109 is tough. Just looked it up in AMBPR and my jaw opened.
Great pick ups Lance.
Beautiful
Looking Good Lance, Congrats on the News!!!

Beautiful coins Lance. Great to see you again at FUN!
Wonderful examples, awesome imaging, great design.
Quality over quantity, very nice pick ups!
Ah ... I recall the PCGS-35 in the auction, but I was not following the AUs.

I had a friend at FUN considering that ‘24 half as well. It’s very nice!
I also splashed out a bit and came home feeling sheepish but that’s the “fun” of these shows. Truly a highlight of each year numismatically for me.
Very nice. Thanks for posting.
VF-XF is my range anyway, those are all beautiful. I know AU is "the way" to go, but 450 x AU money is way above my pay grade, even if they all came in AU.
“Lower grade” lol 😂
Very,very nice.
