The AU bustie I was going after last month on Teletrade, got outbid by a honcho. Still dig it:
Exclusively collecting Capped Bust Halves in VF to AU, especially rarity 3 and up. Joe G. Great BST purchases completed with commoncents123, p8nt, blu62vette and Stuart. Great coin swaps completed with rah1959, eyoung429 and Zug. Top-notch consignment experience with Russ.
I only noticed when imaging, some pretty cool die cracks on the reverse. Vams, anyone?

Have owned this coin for a couple of years and have yet to get a single shot that captures the color, surface detail and the luster very well. This past week my camera had something akin to an epiphany (actually I discovered the AE setting). These are not bad. The obverse colors are still somewhat difficult to capture. To my eye the obverse is somewhere between these two shots. [The second shot is more true, I think - there is a bit less blue (area-wise) and more yellow than is shown in the first shot]. These were shot using natural light, transferred, reduced and sharpened 1X. The coin is raw.
There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt. –John Adams, 1826
I showed the reverse a couple weeks ago here, but held the obverse in abeyance until Phil's image arrived to see if I came close. My images, taken outside in the shade, are below his:

Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
