New guy on the block

Hey all-

Been reading the posts for a while and thought it was time to register and get a few words in. Fairly new to the hobby (compared to some of you) and am still trying to complete my set of high-end raw Capped Bust halves. Lacking a decent '14, and '15/2. Nice collection so far. Anyway, good to be a member.

Welcome.

What grades are you talking on high end raw? I have 3 myself ranging from XF to AU58, all in PCGS holders for my type set.

Hello, Max –

Welcome! I, too, am relatively new. This board is a great place to talk with some pretty knowledgeable collectors.

Brian-

I like to keep them AU+ (as I see them, but I tend to be a bit conservative in my grading when I buy)

Welcome! I am not one of the knowledgeable ones spoken of, but I've been having a lot of fun learning!

Welcome Max,
Glad to see someone else liking Bust Halfs. I just purchased this '14 in PCGS AU58

May your hunt be as fruitful as mine was!

Welcome! And you're not alone. Many people on this board have been collecting only for a short time. We're in it together.

Welcome Max. It is great to have another bust half collector on board. I think they are an underrated series, I have been collecting them for 5 years, mostly draped bust lately.
