There was something about this that just said "Bid on me".

    My kind of coin Tootawl! I like the AU range for type collecting. It's a nice bargain grade.

    Is the O-117 for an Overton number? A specific variety? (Pardon my ignorance on the subject)

    I might be shopping Baltimore for a nice Bust Half myself. It's coming soon image.

    Odds are with ANACS it's probably an O.117 but take TPG's bust attributions with a grain of salt. They are wrong almost as often as they are right. When you get it in hand attribute it yourself just to be sure. Nice coin image

    Attribution or not, I like the coin.

    I agree with you. Enjoy the coin Tootawl, it looks like a nice original bust half dollar.

    Actually, it looks to be an O-118, not the 117. Good looking coin and IMO a much better buy then the ANACS AU-55 also sold in this auction for 10.00 more.

    To XBob who was asking about the Overton number...this is a list of the different obverse and reverse die combinations used in a particular year. They are named for Al Overton the author of "Early Half Dollar Die Varieties"

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Nice-

    Will you set it free?

    I always liked Bust Halves raw.

    Cliff,

    Nice pick up. I always looked at the 1836 LE as a transitional issue before the RE was produced later on.

    Edited to say: Although I know what the Overton numbers are all about, I never had the fortitude to amass a set of Bust Halves by Overton number. I'm just as happy to have a few XF's.
