$25 - I like it, and I'll take it, at your price.
$27- I kind of like it, though I don't love it - I would go $22-ish?
$30 - $85 - I like it. Had I not just bought a bunch of Bust halves, including an 1819, I'd consider it. Twist my arm just right and I might be tempted.
$45 - Funny, just bought a slightly better 1824 this morning for fifty bucks. Uneven toning and weak rev. rim on this, but not a bad price. Hmmm...
$35 - Like it at that price, and will take it.
OK, I have only one Bust half here. It is an 1827/6 but lower grade. VG-ish. No, make that G6-ish. Decent "CircCam" contrast, though, if you are familiar with my term. Not priced yet. No picture yet.
The rest are all new purchases and not even in hand yet. I say I had several Bust halves in your grade range, but the fact is, they ain't here yet. They are all newps. Some should arrive any day. Being new, they too are not priced or imaged yet. I can, however, show you my costs and let the previous owners' pix speak for them.
1819 raw VF, nice dark CircCam look, cost me $155
1824 ANACS F15, nice CircCam, cost me $120 Sadly, the seller's obverse pic has gone bad, but the reverse pic is still there. Nice coin- I was pleased to buy it and will hopefully see it in hand soon.
1836 raw "XF45" with grey toning, cost me $136 Smallish but adequate pictures. Not sure I agree with XF45, but it is XF-ish and appears decent. Might be better in hand.
1833 raw Fine-ish, nice brownish grey CircCam, cost me $65
1819, raw VG10 to Fine-ish, cost me $85- still finalizing the deal as of a few hours ago. It is spoken for by me but I have not paid for it yet.
1824 raw G+ to VG-ish, some attractive and some not quite attractive traits, a decent coin with some CircCam contrast, just cost me $45 in the same deal that is being finalized.

1836 5c, 3 over inverted 3, LM-3, R-1. I call it VG8, personally. ANACS apparently once called it VG10 before the previous owner or
owners cracked it out of a slab, and there is a blue ANACS slab label insert included in the flip. I'm told this is a "3 over inverted 3" variety
but have not examined it under a loupe. Two different half dime folks agreed on the variety, though it is not listed on the ANACS label. $55
1859 25c. I call this VG10. There is a full LIBERTY on the shield but not quite enough detail
for me to call it a Fine, though it is close. I consider the "CircCam" contrast to be a plus.
In hand the toning is not nearly so orangey as in the pictures- more like an even grey with
a slight goldish hue to it. There is the faintest (and I mean really faint) rim chatter,
that is hardly worth mentioning. (Hardly shows in hand, let alone after you stick it in the
pages of a 7070 album). $32
1917 25c, Type 1. I would call this one F15, personally. Maybe not quite enough detail for a VF,
but as you can see, it isn't far off. It has some isolated marks and some tiny peckmarks at the
bottom of the reverse, but not serious enough to call a problem, as I see it. Decent eye appeal. $65
