My New Bust Half!

I picked up this 1832 Bust Half on e-bay last night. I was glad to find out I won. Someone had bid me right to my max--where it was obvious it was my max because I didn't go a full bid increment above them. The auction was going to end at 0130 local, and I ended up folling asleep before upping my bid a little. I think the coin looks nice; great luster, very light wear, no distractions... Price was in-line with the grade.

    Congrats.

    That reminds me of my disaster bust half. I bought it raw, the dealer said it was 62 with a shot at 63. It came back body bagged for AT. I showed it to an expert grader and he said 58. Oh well, looks like you got the real deal.

    A real attractive coin. Great find. I have been away from Ebay for a few weeks (paying bills) or I assure you that you would have had another bidder to contend with.

    Great Coin. I looked on the registry, and there is no set available for these coins. I thought most, if not all, sets were available in the registry. Especially a 19th century coin.
