  I KNOW!!! I always wanted an 1822 in a nice AU. I found one at a show maybe 18 months ago: an NGC AU55. The guy wanted $490 for it and wouldn't budge on the price. I'm normally a PCGS fan, but the coin was just fantastic, so I bought it. (I have sinced crossed it into a PCGS holder.) I am so glad I bought it because I could never find another at that price.

  Positive BST transactions with: too many names to list! 36 at last count.

  I only buy the special CDN package twice a year, so I am about six months old in my CDN paperwork. Two weeks ago a dealer I trust told me he thought the sheet prices on Bust Half Dollars was going to soon show a huge increase. Plan to order my special pack in a week.
  
  I certainly agree that CDN Bustie prices have been far far too low for some time now. No way one can expect to buy anything but junk at those prices.

  I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

  I wish my budget for new coins was going up at the same rate!

  The CDN prices for most early series are too low for quality coins.

  Just received my new CDNs this week. Some of the very common Busties are showing about. Special varieties are anybody's guess.
  
  I am waiting for the price bubble to break on PCGS AU 58 Busties.

  Mozin,
  
  I would be surprised if it breaks for AU58's. Further, I would be respectively surprised "IF" it's a bubble.
