Ebay win tonight - 1828 Bust Half

bgrice · March 18, 2006 11:55AM

Another PCGS half for my collection. Appears to be a nice coin with some character & color/toning. I guess we will see when it comes in. Good use for eBays's 10% off coupon for March.

Nice looking original Bustie. Is that the Square base, small 8, large letters variety?

Yes it is.

I am guessing that many have recieved the 10% off coupon information from eBay, but if not the coupon code is C-MARCH2006CAT. I am guessing it's probably wide open to everyone if they know it like the others have been. Someone will have to confirm it. There are a couple of other coupons, but they only apply to fashion & electronics.

yep, just checked. good through the 31st. glad you mentioned the part about the coupon,
that would have slipped by. i haven't seen anybody post this one yet.

Looks like it was cleaned long ago, and retoned. Very nice detail!! What grade did the gods o' grading give it?

bgrice · March 18, 2006 1:46PM

PCGS gave it the grade of AU53. I think it will fit in well with the others I have from coinlieutenant(John) and Anaconda. I'm definitely hooked on halves. I've also got a 1929D PCGS MS64 Walker coming in shortly and fell out on the bidding on a 1927S PCGS MS64 at $2750 today when it didn't meet the reserve at DLRC. I've since been outbid on that coin and have gone to the sidelines, but that is one clean 27S.
