<< <i>which one would you upgrade >>



those are all coins i don't even have in low cir grades there is no way those can be upgraded is there?

Baley

oh c'mon mbbiker, I *know* you have the top row of page 2

mbbiker

yeah your right, i was talking about the early halves. The only one i have from that page is an AG barber.

I love the look of the 1814 bust. so original must have been a long search for a coin like that.

Baley

funny, the 1814 was in impulse buy, I was at local coin store picking up some silver eagles for end of year gifts and spotted it in the dealer's case, already had a bust half and needed a twenty cent piece among other holes in my type set but couldn't pass that coin up.

there's an au58 bustie that I've gone to crack out several times but i keep changing my mind, scared of putting a big scratch plus would have to push it into a too tight hole, didn't have to hurt that 1814 too much by squeezing it between my fat fingers like larry on the coin vault home shopping.
