New purchase - 1808 circam Bust half

I really like this look, no scrubbing apparent here! Tough to find the early ones like this, but they are out there. PCGS VF-30 is the grade.

Tremendous look. Want to sell it?

BEAUTIFUL....

Don't pimp her out to Saettleslammer either

TennesseeDave · February 21, 2013 12:12PM

Yep, that's a nice look. Definately an original looking CBH.

Superb ! You've inspired me to get back to work on my 1808 die states set !

I like your newp better than the 1810 I just bought!

I'll post the customary grading poll on mine shortly. It's in the same ballpark as yours, gradewise, but doesn't have the contrast yours does.

Nor the snakey, early eagle, of course.

Very crusty and wholesome! Congrats!

tt for the morning Bust fans...

Very nice!

Obviously you have good taste. Everything you want to see in a mid-grade. I especially like the Cindy Crawford 'beauty mark' - nice touch.

Nice looker!

Dang more competition trying to fill that hole. And yes I want one like that or maybe in the XF range with that look.

Congrats on a nice half, nice pick-up

Very nice coin. I looked for a while before deciding on the coin I bought. I have three examples of bust halves for my type set, this, a 1795 in VG10 and a very nice looking 1832 XF45 PCGS.

I think this piece could have gone 45 or 50 if it had a bit more luster. I think it's got great details, and I've always loved the crack bisecting libertys head.

Honestly I like the coloration of yours a bit better.
