Crazy4Coins

You may have already seen it, but I finally took some pics. This is one of my most recent additions to my Bust Half set. A couple more and I'll be ready to take the top registry spot.

A beautiful half! I just acquired me one today, too. But I won't have it in my hands for a while.

Beautiful coin! Very clean fields, strong strike and nice toning. The only flaw I see (if I see correctly) is the area right in front of Miss Liberty's nose. Is that a fingerprint, toning, or what?

All things considered, that is still one hell of a nice coin.

Very nice.

It is a fingerprint unfortunately. It is not visible to the naked eye, only thru magnification or in a pic where the lighting enhances it.

Nice...here is her older sister. Complete with the same album toning and print in front of Liberty where an old owner pressed it into his book.

Very nice!! I would give it a 9.5, with the slight reduction only for the trace fingerprint. You know, I can deal with an occasional fingerprint- but it amazes me that some of these old time collectors didn't have the sense to not put their thumbs all over the coins being put into the holders....

Keep them Busties coming!!!
