I used to collect Capped Bust Halves. Had a modest date set minus the 1815/2
Not sure why I sold them because I really enjoyed finding each date I needed. There are surely some of the most beautiful coins in this thread. Makes me want to start collecting them again.
I want to be hooked!!!! I posted this request in the BST board as well. I have $100 to spend on my first bust half. Does anyone have a PCGS coin that is straight graded for that amount? Date, variety doesn’t matter, just looking for a presentable coin to get me started. Some on EBay, but I prefer to ask here first.

I would like this thread to go on forever. Capped Bust Halves have been an obsession of mine since I found my first one when I was 9-10 years old. It was in the "peanut room" where Grandpa processed the nuts. O.k., I stole it. Throw me in jail. I caught "Capped Bust Fever," right then and there. My favorite American coin. Hands down.
Are you referring to the dig through the "L" in the reverse motto? That's a pet peeve of mine, the motto strike, but I overlook it if everything else is o.k.

I sort of got sucked in but am staying with a date set only. I think I just completed it except for the Big Kahuna.
Some fun middle dates.

Some PQ stellar examples here, impressive. Reluctant to share some I have or had next to the gems. https://i.imgur.com/XQFr1eA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qGUnLMx.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Zrg3b.jpg
Your 1832 is a beauty logger7. What's the grade? I'd guess 55+-58. Probably wrong. I tend to go low.
53, maybe it is worth the reconsideration but reverse hit is an issue, etc..
