Newp 1820 Bust Half

in U.S. Coin Forum
So a few weeks back I posted a 1817 50c XF 45 that sold for huge money. This coin is from the same collection and I was pretty determined to be the high bidder on this. Apparently this coin spent the last 80 years in a leather change purse with two other bust half dollars and a bust dime. The Seller's photos are pretty close to the look in hand although I will add there is better detail in hand and when under light some gold shines through. Overall I am very pleased with the coin.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    On a different note, I am having trouble deciding which coins to bid on in the upcoming Heritage sale. There are soo many nice CBH's, especially those from the All Good collection (although I still don't know who this is). There are quite a few that I would love to add to my collection...unfortunately I have to restrict myself to a budget.

    Maybe some of the more experienced collectors could chime in, but I was wondering how well the supply of soo many AU bust halves at one auction would be absorbed. Do you think prices will hold pretty firm or will there be some softness in comparison to recent sales. Any opinions?

    I am having the same problem as you with the upcoming heritage sale. I have accumulated about 20 ounces of gold over the past 6 months
    so if you see a large number of gold coins for sale by me on the BST in a month or so you will know I have won a few
