collection of draped bust halves

Baley

brought some coins home from the bank to look at and take pictures



I like these coins because the dies were handmade by craftsmen, the coins circulated when our country was young, and because some of them are truly scarce to rare in any grade.

does anyone else collect draped bust halves and want to show some coins to the forum? I'd be interested in seeing some other pieces

You rock, Baley. That looks like fun.

DB day sounds great!

CoinAddict

Awesome set. Now all you have to do is show us individual pics of each coin.

Baley

Thanks guys, I've been collecting these by major (or "redbook") variety for about 5 years now.

Interesting slabs also. What's the slab in the upper right corner?

Baley

The 1806/5 is in an "NCI" slab.. you're right, I've also got a bit of a "slab collection", including an NGC (not pictured)

1803 O.104 "small 3"



1803 O.103 "large 3"

Baley

1805/4 O.101

Ahhh, you guys suck... I'm resisting the competitive urge. Not well, but resisting nonetheless. Ohh, jeez, these images will have to be resized.

Cladiator

Do it slumy, you know you want to

SDCollector

Gorgeous coins.

ibzman350

Nice




Herb

Baley

the 1806 pointed 6 no-stem through claw O.109



Here's another 1801 O.101, this one with nice detail but old scratches



I'll bet those scratches were inflicted while Thomas Jefferson was President

Baley

here's an 1803 with maybe EF details, nice surfaces, but the coin has a hole in it



how would you net grade such a coin? Poor? Good? VF35?

Cladiator

a HOLE!?!?

Ah come on now Baley...you know Draped Halves with holes aren't worth a dime! Geez man, get back up to par already will ya

mrearlygold

Neat-o Baley!

Baley

the very rare 1807 O.115



LoL Cladiator, no, it doesn't have a hole, and it's not as rare as the 1806 O.129, either

thanks for putting the collage together, btw

Cladiator

I'll add it to your collage photo when I'm home Baley. Very nice coin.

Baley

Thanks Cladiator! That should fill up the remaining spaces...

I wish I knew how to crop a circle around the coin. [i can do a square]

Cladiator

Here ya go bud. An amazing collection Baley. The '07 O.115 is spectacular.

lordmarcovan
