    Better than average flea market material. Really strong XF. Near AU. Looks pretty & without "issues."

    Nice find, for some reason flea markets seem to have a fair amount of CBHS, finding the crusty ones is the challenge. Reminds me of my first real coin purchase about 3 years ago...an XF and crusty 1830 bust half.
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    Around my area. There is a flea market within 30 minutes of my house every day of the week except mon and tues. Sat and Sun there are multiples to choose from. I love it.

    That's a great flea market find. It's a beautiful Bust Half.

    nice looking coin...congrats!!

    ef45 is my guess.

    light parallel hairlines in the obverse may indicate a cleaning. Hopefully I'm wrong.

    EF-45, possible cleaning as others have mentioned. Even if it was wiped/cleaned in the past, it's still got great eye-appeal. Nice find!

    Very nice, I like it...

    All I find at flea markets is over graded Morgan's..."-)

    Looks like an honest 45 - O-113...

    Beats the heck out of my coin shop purchase !
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Purty dang nice for a flea market find. But then again, I've seen some fairly classy flea market dealers. (Well, okay- one or two. I used "Classy" as a relative term, here).

    I got my start as a flea market dealer, myself. Ain't too far removed from those roots even now, come to think of it. My little setup is just a cut above the flea market.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
