This should arrive in a couple days. I couldn't resist purchasing it. I can't find anything I don't like....at least in the sellers photos. If you have a cool new Bust Half purchase post it here. I love to see coins you guys are picking up.

No...actually it would probably not be an "ex-" as it is a nice coin and it would be tough to part with it. I just think that I saw it recently and passed on it because it is an Overton I already have in the collection.

Here is a newp. Nothing major...a decent 1808/7. Still looking for a sweet 1808 AU.

Nice 1812 LVGT....love the look. Very original IMO.
As an aside........this was my first 1808/7 I bought a few years ago.....it was originally in a NGC 50 holder which I crossed to a PCGS 45. I loved the look of this one and had a hard time parting with it when it came time to upgrade it to my current PCGS 55......but looking back, I'm glad I waited until I found the right look as I'm quite fond of my current set piece.
Patience is key in building a quality and eye appealing set.
DRDDM - I saw both of your 1808/7's on coin zip and agree you made the right decision! What a look to that 55.
Believe me when I say I've made my share of impulse buys as well and have also lost money along the way in selling and upgrading, but as you say, it is well worth the lesson.
I think I have learned quite a lot from this forum and also over at coinzip.com, not to mention the many CBH collectors I've come to know since starting my collection.
Enjoy the hunt LVGT and as Mr. Hall says, "Have fun with your coins"
