Whats this bust half worth?

First of all, congratulations on your first Capped Bust half purchase. I personally collect this series and I think you will fall in love with them. There are a lot of ways to collect these and you may find that you like doing these by variety. Attribution of these coins is great fun. You will want to purchase Early Half Dollar Die Varieties by Al C. Overton for this purpose if you decide this interests you.

This coin is an O-108 which has a rarity rating of 2, so that does not add any value to it, unfortunately. I see VF25 details, but the damage hurts the value considerably.

Personally, I would pay around $45-50 for this coin. It's a good starter coin, but I would upgrade as soon as I could if I were you.

I would pay from 40 to 50 bucks. If I needed the coin

Its a nice starter coin for the series with lots of detail although I'm glad you got it cheap. Be careful Bust Halves are addictive!

Yeah Joe you got that right on being addictive.haha. I checked on eBay on that 1818/7 I think I missed out, and am kicking myself now. I should of known at the show, when 2 other people were looking hard at that bust half. The overdate was real pronounced compared to the ones I saw on the bay going for higher. I was hanging out at the next dealers table for like 20 minutes, he bought about 20 indian cents off me, every time someone asked to see that coin, I was thinking "no no no no" thats mine, then didnt even buy it...lol.

Just throwing this out there I think I can post a trade list soon on here, if any of you bust folks have doubles for trade or sell, let me know. Iv got some bu silver kennedy and franklin proofs, etc... stuff like that I plan to post in the right forum of course.
