My first bust coins!!

coinbuf · July 3, 2004 12:35PM

I received these in the mail today. The 1918 is an overdate 9/8. How did I do??

Got me, but here's my overdate 1819/8

JrGMan2004 · July 3, 2004 12:39PM

<----------- Here's my not quite overdate

It's a 3/Inverted-3

But the Inverted-3 is very weak...

What grade is yours NWCS??

nwcs · July 3, 2004 12:41PM

It's a VF details net F with a small scratch. It was graded quite a while ago by ANACS. Even with the scratch, I bet it would go into any PCGS/NGC holder as VF.

It's a great original coin NWCS. I bought these from an ebay seller/forum member as EF40 each but I think the 26 has claims to EF45.

Without knowing what you paid, I can't say "how you did", but it looks like you got some very nice lookin' coins!

Man 'O' Man, I miss my Capped Bust half colection. I had just about all of'em.

Welcome to the wonderful world of bust halves. First question: Do you have THE BOOK? If not, get it. Overton may be a little dated but it is still a great source of info.

As for how you did, if you got either of those coins for 40 money then I think you did okay. On the 26 you got a deal.

Now then, get rid of that ugly thing you have for an icon and use a good-looking coin.

Nice halves.

Nice coins. #3 looks like a cameo.

JadeRareCoin · July 4, 2004 4:33AM

coinbuf, nice job! I like 'em.

coinbuf · July 4, 2004 7:47AM

Thanks to all for the nice comments on my new additions. For reference I paid $170 for the overdate and $70 for the 1826. Did I still do good??

Here is one of my more unusual Bustie overdates 1817/13.

I've got two Bust coins in my collection:

Overdate Bust Half 1819/8:

And this 1835 Bust Quarter that was part of the Eliasberg Collection (lot 1409 in the April 1997 sale):

Hey RR, your Eagle got his head chopped off

Nice looking coin... die bulge perhaps?

stman · July 4, 2004 11:51AM

Check out what this one sold for. Another raw coin, oh my.

Double Vision I wanted it but just couldn't pull the trigger that high.

<< <i>Hey RR, your Eagle got his head chopped off

Yep definite die bulge, the eagles head is opposite the drapery clasp which also was never struck up in detail.

Yes, I was in on it to the 300.00 mark but then dropped out.
