Bought a Bust Half on a whim

I don't really collect these. I liked the look, so I bought it. Any opinions on the grade? Is it a common type? Apologies for the poor imaging. TIA

Buy what you like and like what you buy. No worries.

Nice circ. CAM.

Watch out - the fever sneaks up on anyone who dares to purchase a bust half. Nice coin. I started with buying one on a whim as well...

It looks nice !
VF 30 or so from a distance...doesn't appear to be any of the scarcer marriages for this year, although I only did a quick scan...

Nice CBH. I would think it would grade about VF-30.

Thanks, I bought it as a VF.

Nice circ-cam look.

I'd buy that one in a heartbeat. Nice look. Nice mid-VF.

Whenever I do something on a whim, it costs more. Careful with that.

I don't remember saying that.

<< <i>I thought you were unloading your entire coin collection? >>

you're thinking of member "ajia".

I would grade the coin VF-25. The reverse is better, but the obverse has a lot more influence on the overall grade.
