Love the toning too! Nice pick-up.

Looks like that one was thoroughly cleaned, and then spent time in an album. Personally, I don't like busties with that type of white center, but the detail is nice..

Boy that's an awfully good coin to be breaking out and putting into an album. Sure hope it doesn't get any rub from the slide.

<< <i>Can that mylar slide really damage coins that much? one of my friends was wondering if Dansco could make a 7070, but with round shells in each compartment so the coins dont move around, and dont get any rub. I thought it would be a good idea.

Yes it can as well as prints while placing it in your album. My album has F/VF coins in it, I don't mind putting in lower grade coins but a high grade early halves I'd want a little more protection but that's just me.
It's in a good holder at a good grade that will bring strong money. I'd certainly want to get the coins for a whole roll before I put it in the album so your not sliding it back and forth all the time if your inclined to do it.
Although I don't collect Bust Halves, I have always admired them.
Its true that alot of them have been dipped in the past, I think that statement is "a given";
I just never realized that this "bulls eye" toning would only occur if the coin were dipped and
then placed in an album [ ie: Waite Raymond ] which had a high amount of sulpher in the
cardboard. Wouldn't an original - undipped - coin receive the same type of toning
in the same type of album ?
I'm always learning something new every day here.
