I'm photographing my Bust half collection, and I just thought I'd post a few pics for the heck of it. Posted the 1795-1807 early halves this weekend. Here are a few 1807-1809 Capped Busts. All are raw. The 1807 large stars appears to be 100% original. The first 1808 is 99% original, might have a tiny wipe on the reverse. Second 1808 is wiped on both sides, but is toned over nicely and is not so bad. First 1809 is original and has an emerald green patina to it in person. Second 1809 is cleaned and retoned, and is an R5 die state of an R4 variety that has a rather dramatic die crack in the obverse field. Hope you like them. Sorry if the pics are a little slow loading today.
