I Finally Made My First Gold CAC Capped Bust Half Dollar!

EDLEDL Posts: 80 ✭✭✭✭

The grand total is now up to 119 and I could not be happier! One of my numismatic dreams for years was to make an elusive Gold CAC on a Bust Half Dollar. JA is notoriously strict and just does not hand these out!

Here are the before photos:

Here is after in all its glory:


Thanks for viewing!!

If you have made one, I would love to see it! Please post it in the comments below!

    I think it is a nice AU-50, surprised that it gold CACed. Particularly with the large black spot on the north reverse.

    Congrats on the win regardless.

    That's the gunk of originality :)

    In all honesty if anyone can tell me a definitive answer on what that is, I would really appreciate it.

    Question. Has anyone ever made a CBH Gold Sticker.

    @drddm Hold my beer!

    :D:D:D

    As for me, no golds for me, at least with CBH's. It would probably help if I didn't upgrade them first!

    .

    As for yours Ethan, nice score!

    Certainly looks like all of a 55, but like @jacrispies mentioned, the darker stain on the reverse seems ... difficult. Would love to see this in hand if you're coming to FUN.

    Again, congratulations!
