A"nother" costly month for the OKbustchaser

April is finally over and my checking account is happy it is. I managed to totally destroy my coin budget but gladly picked up several new busties.

First, one that I actually ordered in March, but since I didn't pay for it until April it counts.
1830 (Has definitely been dipped, but not as bright as it looks in pics.)

Then, I ran across this one.

Then this one...

Finally, I had to have this one (on order--shipped, but not received yet)

Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Great coins! I love that 1811 with the strongly struck wing feathers!!

    A lot of people once said "California or Bust".

    I'll take the Bust.

    You can never have enough quality coinage. They're like money in the bank!

    Evidently I must agree with you since May was no different. :)

    First, I cherried a 1809 102 XXX marked as a plain edge.


    Picked up Dr Dave's 1825-117 off the BST board to join his 1810 from April.


    Then I won 2 from Heritage both slightly below my max bids.
    1809-109A


    and 1823-106A


    Budgets? We don't need no stinking budgets!!!

    @OKbustchaser I bet that 25-117 looks awesome in hand! Really pretty.

    Here's mine just for the heck of it. What appear to be scratches on the obverse are just reflections of abrasions on the holder.

    BHNC #248 … 108 and counting.
