Hi Will, Nice bust half! I absolutely love capped bust halves. In my opinion they are the most beautiful silver pieces in the entire catalog of American coinage. A gorgeous obverse and a spectacular eagle on the reverse...and like you said, all of the neat die states that add to the fun. I collected them for a brief period but unfortunately my eyes were always bigger than my wallet with that series; I seemed to only really want the early dates with excellent full strikes in the very choice high-AU - UNC range. But I still love them. Here's one that I owned a good while back. O-109a (R-4) It was an EF, had a great strike and nice color. I was very fond of it.
