Lance suggested someone start a thread to see some of the gorgeous CBH's in the hands of some of our esteemed members.
I hope Ankur posts his 1831 fluorescent monster somewhere in here.
I have this really cool looking1826 Bust Half Dollar PCGS AU50 ex. Guttag Family (O-108a) that I bought from CU Member Illini for $495 in October 2011.
The coin is very original looking. The toning is colorful with rusty looking red and amber at the rims fading into a translucent blue toning towards the center of the coin.
The coin also shows a few die cracks which helped Illini attribute the variety.

Mine are modest. But here are some from the same era...the look I like.
Lance.
It's not what a lot of people might call beautiful, but it's the only one I currently own.
Anyway, here are mine:

Here is another AU50 CBH that I bought off eBay. Still a tiny bit of luster on this coin and I love soft golden toning like this.

I have a feeling that a TrueView photo of this coin will look similar to Robec's 1812 posted at the top of this page.
Of course Robec's CBH has a much sexier date, a higher grade, and a better overall look.

You are right. This is a great thread loaded with toned monsters. I should mention that Lance could post beauties all night and not show a duplicate.

Lance, too bad about that huge scratch on the obverse...you might want to let me have that one, I happen to collect scratched CBH !
Hard to believe that when I cracked that 1818 out of the NGC AU55 slab and sent to PCGS, it came back AU55 again...

I thought I saw a little wear on the curls, but it may just be the lighting. Knockout
coin in any holder.
Oh yeah, the rest of the coins in this thread aren't too shabby, either. Well done, folks!
