CoinHunter00 Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 10/25/2020 1:44 pm Hi everyone, I am looking to buy a bust half for my collection but am having trouble finding one that isn't too pricey and is eye appealing. I found this one for sale but am a little suspicious of it. Does it looked tampered with (cleaned, polished, etc.)? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
