Question on Half Cents and Large Cent.

Wouldn't the Classic and Braided Hair Half Cents and Large Cents be considered Bust coinage? If so, why wouldn't they be included in the Bust coin type set?

    Because they don't show any cleavage! ;)

    If you broaden the definition too much, then pretty soon most coins become "bust" coins, including Lincoln cents etc.. Having said that, I do think the Classic 0,5c and 1c types should somehow fit in a "Capped Bust" set, even though they aren't "Capped".

    I would agree either way.
