Bust halves are just heart-achingly beautiful, I think. What a shame that they don't produce coins like these anymore.

All those great responses to my first posts prompt me to post a few more coins. Hopefully the photo quality will be better using photobucket links

I bought this coin on ebay. It's mid-grade I suppose, but I'd like confirmation that the surfaces seem natural, and any thoughts on grading:

I also like the Bust Halves.

I also use photobucket, and while they changed the format of their site recently, I noticed that the last time I posted photos here, I had to delete half the URL so it would not show on photo.

Not quite enough detail (mainly on the reverse) to get 20 out of it. F-15 IMO. Very nice coin!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say VF-25. Nice coin although the scratches above the eye are a bit distracting.

I'll call it F15. Very close to VF.
