Question of identification - Capped Bust Half

Sarge8497

I bought the attached half thru E-Bay - It was labeled 1823 Patched 3 but the pictures were terrible so I bought it cheap. After I got it in the mail today after looking at it closely I think it's a Ugly 3 not a patched 3. What do you guys think.

Thanks kaz. After checking out the link it looks like I was able to get a Ugly 3 which seem to be harder to find. Now I have a broken 3 and a ugly 3. Next I need to look for a regular 3 and a patched 3.

Congrats! The ugly 3 is the tough one, and the most valuable.

I think all of the perverted 3's are fun. If you can find others like that you will do well!

Thanks for all the responses guys. I've been working on capped bust half's over the last year/year and a half and now have a total of 26 and counting. I also have 3 Draped Bust half's and 3 Draped Bust Quarters. I do like collecting for that time period (at least that's what I'm concentrating on right now).
