drddm, I like your 1818 very much. It's a great photo as well. I think that AU55-58s are ideal grades for CBHs, particularly if they look like MS62-63s.

Thanks GeorgeKellogg, that's what most of my CBH collection consists of, AU55-58 with some MS busties sprinkled in here and there.
And, I happen to agree with you that choice AU is an ideal grade to collect CBH's, then again, I have seen many a beautiful XF busties as well.
You know what they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
Here are some of the Roger Solomon CBH's auctioned by Sheriday Downey at the recent ANA. I was the underbidder on the 1815, which is why I am still married. LOL.
Seriously, these photos do not do them justice. My breath was taken away by more than a few of these. I lost sleep during the couple of days they were in my possession.

Nice varieties too, huh?

I agree about the 1808/7, the dies are practically falling apart it seems, yet some areas look fabulously struck !

PCGS 53, but the luster and eye appeal of a 55+. The pictures don't tell the whole story.
How could I forget about this thread Mike.

I wish I had more coin funds at the time of the solomon sale.
