You Have A Choice

To buy either one for the same money. Which one would you buy and why? Thanks, Lee

Bust Half, all the way... the only IHC Proofs I want, are colorful ones, in 64RB...

Russ

No question - the half dollar. Why? Because it's a half dollar.

I'm with Russ on this one. Take the half.

I don't see these being bought at the same money but I would buy the cent.

That bust half has great details and is problem free. It's a nice specimen. Although the cent is high-grade and a proof I'm not a huge fan of the colour.

I'd go for the half... it's nice and original, and I think waiting on the IHC, you'll find a nicer one... I think the reverse looks kinda bad, and there are 65RBs that have some exceptional color to them (like mine )

Wasn't a very challenging question liked I hope. I was in a rush. The colors are a little dull on the IH and the reverse is weak. The Bust Half does do the trick for me though! Appreciate It! Lee

I know nothing about pricing on proof IHC's, but wouldn't that be worth much more than a common date R1 bust half in ef45??
While I LOVE bust halves, and I love that die break on that particular half, it looks like one that was dipped and then retoned- albeit nicely. But I'm always a little thrown off by the bust halves with bright centers...... But it's still a nice one, and I respect anyone looking for nicely detailed bust halves!!

Proof IHC no questions, who wants a circ coin when you can have an UNC

No contest, the half.

Even though some dealers tell me they think over 85% of the bust halves are messed with, IF you're sure that one is OK, I like the classic date half better. The cent might be a better $ deal however, IMHO.

If you have to ask, then I wouldn't buy either of them. Why spend your hard earned money on something that doesn't grab you right away?

BTW - I don't think the half is original and I don't like the IHC. Just my opinions based on perhaps inaccurate photos....

Bust half - no contest

Proof indian, just attracted to that coin more.

The half. I'm partial to nice, old, large silver.

If both are offered at the same price, then either the half is over-priced or there is something wrong with the cent that is not apparent from the photo (other than the "less than perfect" color).

Irrespective of price, I like the half over the cent. And based on the photo alone, ANACS may have been a bit hard on the grade . . . it looks mightly close to an AU.

I love the look of that half. And that would be my choice based on the look of the coins shown.
