Good to hear. Maybe I was smarter at buying coins when I was 15 than I am now at 67. ;>)

It's more likely that finding original coins was easier back then, as nowadays coins like this do not last long before they get snapped up by collectors.

Kudos to you for staying active in the hobby for so many years.

I put it down for many decades, but found my old Whitman album of IHCs a while back and got the bug again.

It's a lifetime hobby for sure. Never really goes away. I collected on and off from the mid 80s to the mid 2010s but then really got back into the hobby around 2015.

VF-35, great eye appeal.

Be careful around these bust halves, especially the previous lettered edge varieties. You might get sick with bust half fever!

XF-40 imo and has the right look of a coin of that age which is not easy to find these days.

Super attractive. This is a coin that will only go up in value.
