I purchased the following 1830 Capped Bust and 1877-S Seated Half Dollars pedigreed from the S.M. Damon Collection at auction tonight. -- These are the first Damon coins that I have owned. image

These will encourage me to do a bit of research on Mr. Damon's collection...

    Nice 1877-S seated half dollar Stuart.

    BTW, it's a WB-104. Tail Hub variety 2, very small mintmark.

    Great looking coins! I recently picked up an 1846-O seated dollar which is pedigreed to the S.M. Damon collection also. image
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!
