Hi everyone....I've been away for almost 3 years.....how is everybody doing?

I've been away dealing with some personal issues and am happy to be back. How have my fellow CBH collectors doing?

This was one of the last CBH's I bought before taking my break. I don't think it's been seen on here in almost 3 years.

    There's always room for more Bust collectors around here.

    Glad to have you back, David. image

    PS: Nice E/A! But let me fix your image, which is heavily distorted...

    Here's my example of the same variety; a modest VF...

    Welcome back. I hope all is well.
    Beautiful coin too!

    Thanks for posting the Trueview link Brian. That is a glaring example of how badly Photobucket distorts images.

    It's about time, Dave! We missed you. I hope things have settled down.

    Bust half collecting is alive and well. Too well, some would say. The nicest coins are going for multiples of price guide, if being offered at all.

    Wonderful E/A, too. Great coin to announce your return!

    Here's mine to add to the mix.

    Brian, love the crust on your E/A
    Lance, beautiful E/A, as are all your other busties I noticed on your registry....you've obviously been busy adding quite the bevy of beauties to your collection...congrats!

    Hey Goldbully, love your nicely toned 1824 you bought recently. Your eye for quality never ceases to amaze me!

    Welcome back!

    I am fairly new here and even newer to the CBH world.

    It is nice to have your experience back here. You have good taster in coins.

    I left here about 10 years ago and rejoined a few months ago.

    I don't know the details, but I learned about the tragic death of a YN I knew years ago was related to some money owed.

    This place is still good for coin insight, but the pack mentality still exists.

    Nice CBH - thanks for posting it.

    Welcome back!

    I remember with great fondness all of the CBHs you posted on the forum. Are you still actively collecting them?

    drddmdrddm Posts: 5,462 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Thanks CoinJunkie. At the moment, no I'm not, however I'm hoping that one day I may return to collecting them. Until then, I still have my CBH collection and will enjoy them as much as possible.
