    All of them, mostly because I just can't get enough bust coins.

    The 27, and the 29. I would have to buy those two............

    This is way I should not collect coins because I would stop eating lunch for how ever long it took to own both.

    They all look nice to me....

    My only input would be that the 1833 looks a bit over graded at XF-45. Other than that, don't think there's a "dog" in the bunch.

    I like em all, but for looks... the 1830. For looks with value... the 1810. BTW, I think the 1830 is O. 123 R.1 by what I can see in the Pic.

    The 1810. It is a difficult date to find with as nice a strike as your pictured coin has and it is also a much tougher date to find problem-free compared to the other coins.

    All the coins are nice examples in my opinion.

    Honestly, I do not like any of them... Maybe the ANACS Au58... but even then, it's kind of an 'Eh' coin for me... if you're interested in something original and grey, shoot me a PM...

    I like the 1830 with even creamy even toning!

    I like the 29, great eye (mine) appeal.

    I'm with George. I personally wouldn't buy any of those halves. I would definitely stay away from the 1827 since it has been harshly cleaned, the others less so. When I look for a bust half, especially in the VF-XF range, I look for rich graphite color and not wild blues, etc. Just my opinion.

    the 1810, cause i like that year and the way it looks
    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    Immediatly jump on the '27 and the 10....or P.M. me if you aren't.

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.
  • MyqqyMyqqy Posts: 9,777 ✭
    I think I would take the 1810- I love the die crack by/through the date....
