Only have capped busts right now. Hope to add a draped bust soon.

Here are mine — don't have the dollar yet, and I don't like my half-cent enough to include it
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Here are a few of mine:
Amazing examples above! Makes me realize how much I love bust coinage. The 1828 below, I sold a while back, which I am now kicking myself. The 1826 is my only Bust half, and I love the color of that coin...In hand it really is beautiful.
Smaller than most the ones I have, but not the smallest

Great coins, all.

That is a really awesome coin. Major kudos.
What's going on here, a clash?
A Draped Bust type collection is reasonably difficult. I still have a few holes, and a couple probably need to be upgraded.

Holy smokes, major congratulations Nysoto.
Pure eye candy scrolling through this thread.
I really love this quarter, even though it is in an old ANACS holder designated "graffiti" for some ancient marks on the rev.
And this half, which although a middling grade has a certain charm about it:
Yes, there are actually four sets of clashes of the left wing in the field to the right of Miss Liberty and also the scroll is seen clashed just above the date, not to mention, parts of the shield can be seen under the ear.

Thanks Dave!

Thanks Stman! I was only planning on one year of the small eagle half dollar, but found the G4 1797 at a good price in 2020 which is about perfect for the grade and terminal die state. That opened the door for the 1796 this year from Liz Coggan, F15 ex George Walton. Very happy to finally finish the 1794-1807 half dollar date set!
Wow! Heck of an accomplishment! Congratulations!!

One more half for the evening?
Common date and marriage, with a look I love.

That 1828 is just lovely. Wonderful half. I'm not sure I could have sold it.
