Absolutely gorgeous set, Richard. I am glad to see that you finally found yourself an 1837. It sure is a beauty. Congratulations on an outstanding set.
Just love to look at this set! Eye Appealing just doesn't cover it!
Wish I could do a date set of Bust Quarters in that grade!, But alas, they don't all exist!
I see that the mint got a new Half Dime star punch in late 1831 or early 1832. There is a huge difference in the look of the stars on the 1831 as compared to those dated later.
Go to Early United States Coins - to order the New "Early United States Half Dollar Vol. 1 / 1794-1807" book or the 1st new Bust Quarter book!

I was looking at this thread again in the archives, and it's definitely worth another look.
