Sign in here if in the past 2 years you've started collecting CBH's

It seems like a lot of forum members have recently turned to the gorgeous big bustie CBH's as a focus of numismatics.

I know I have and I will enjoy the future of collecting in this series for years to come. Apart from this I like Capped Bust Dimes and Bust Quarters.

Just sign in here if you started collecting CBH's before 2 years ago.

Also, Post a favorite CBH if you want image

    I have bought more Capped Bust Halves in the last 2 years than I ever have, but I started with buying just a few >2 years ago. I could kick myself for not jumping on the bandwagon earlier when nice XF's were 80 bucks.

    I'm kinda fond of this 1827 in AU53. It's an O-109 which is a R4. great in-hand color.

    I'm afraid that I have been collecting CBH's a "few" more years then you guys. In fact, here is one that I actually received in pocket change.

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Not hardly. Nor in '64. And would be ashamed to admit it if I had.

    Nice lookin' 1830, Fishteeth! Appears to be an AU or nearly so. I got started with an 1813. Totally mushy obverse, and heavily clashed (with a few scratches too) and an AU reverse. Loads of luster and color. I thought I had pics of that one...guess not uploaded. Well, here is an 1812 I fancy.....

    O and btw, January 26 is a great date, it's my birthday! image
    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!!!
