Birthday present to myself--that's right, a bust half.

Do you ever buy yourself a birthday/Christmas/etc. gift? I did...another Ed Richter (edmerlr) castoff.
Buying Ed's castoffs is getting to be a habit. One I highly reccomend to others.

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

These were my birthday presents this year (picked them out myself)
If I had a birthday for every coin I bought myself I'd be getting real old by now.

Can I see the holder?
The coin looks a bit "off" to me.

Congratulations on the purchase of a great looking coin.
I have a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks and buy myself coins as presents all the time.
At least this way, I always get what I want.

Is that a scratch or die crack running across the obverse?
Dare I say...much nicer than say .... an ... 1827
<< <i>Can I see the holder? The coin looks a bit "off" to me. >>
No holder, Ray. I'm one of those weird folks who still buys raw coins. Yes, you're correct, though. It has been dipped and the proof-like surfaces that this die marriage and state are known for show every mark and hairline. Nor do they scan well. I have seen much worse coins in PCGS holders and I have seen better ones bag. This one is iffy. (Maybe 60-40 to get a BB if submitted)

Speety, It is 1 of 4 cracks on the obverse. This die didn't last much longer.

Well, John, I can say it is a much PRICIER year then 1827.

What a cool coin, the 5 in he 50 on the reverse looks like it is ready to fall over. And certainly enough crack to get us all high!
Nice Bust.
