A PCGS AU50 1832 Large Letters Capped Bust Half Dollar- Updated photo!

Picked up a nice Capped Bust Half dollar that is relatively rare as PCGS has graded 111 of them and NGC has graded 21 of them. 4,797,000 minted of 1832 total and an unknown number of them are the Large Letters variety.

I bought the coin on eBay for XF dollars. I was ready for the snipers but they never swooped in, so I feel I did real well on this purchase.

I expect/hope that this year I will buy more vintage coins, mostly gold, than modern bullion now that the platinum and gold fractionals are discontinued.

It seems that vintage coins hold their value far better than most modern issues. Just my opinion.

Here is the updated image that I made.
