I believe that’s what this is. These are beautiful coins. I am not a collector of coins but these are the type I like most of what I have looked at so far.

@Endeavor1967.... Yes, capped bust halves are beautiful coins. If you like them, you should get one... but be careful, they can be addicting.

I like these coins too.
Really fun series that can be actively enjoyed on a modest budget with both novice and decades long experts actively and freely sharing information gladly. Enjoy!
Enjoy but be very selective. As type coins they are quite common. The coin you picture appears to have been cleaned.
Take advice from a very old collector, when buying your first Bust Half buy it slabbed at a grade you can both afford and enjoy looking at. If you buy a Bust Half raw without the benefit of years of study or advice, you will regret it. Now later as you progress in collecting this series you may be able to successfully buy raw. This is actually good advice for any series of coin you decide to collect. Good luck with your collecting.

Nice coins to get into
@Endeavor1967 I hope you find time with all your posting to get in contact with me. I'd love to settle up on that colonial currency I sent you in January that you never paid me for. Although it seems you had no problem paying some woman for her collection. Also seems like you've blocked my number since it goes right to voicemail. Yet when I call from my work phone, it rings through.
I tried to keep this private but you're forcing my hand. Did you think I was just going to see you post and let it go without saying something?
