Would you include an 1839-O in a bust half date set?

Thoughts? I know the 1839-O is a tougher date. I already have a regular 1839 in my set.

As of right now I need an 1811, 1813, 1815 and 1838.
Technically 3 as I have an 1838 on the way on approval.

I have read a number of your posts and like your style. You set a goal and attack it agressively, with nice coins...at least in my opinion. I saw your type set ...now bust halves. If I had more disposable income at this point I'd be doing the same thing....
What do or did you do for a living? Just curious....kinda interested in where other collectors come from...outside of the dealers.
For what its worth...i cant seem to get turned on by the 37 - 39 dates...regardless of the mint mark (they're smaller and they resemble modern coinage more then the earlier dates of this series)
Anyway...Id love to see your whole set pictured once you have it.
I'm sure there are some cool ones.
Shameless spam....if offended then no reason to read any further.
Anyone got an extra 2009 and/or 2010 half (preferably raw) they want to get rid of? I neglected to pick one up last year and haven't gotten one so far this year either.
Thanks for the comments LGVT! I will post pics when they are all here. I have to get a few of them crossed from ANACS holders to put them in my NGC registry.

I'm in the same boat. I'm working on a date/mm set of capped bust half dollars, and am missing only the 1815 and 1839-O. I've been looking for a VG 1839-O for around two years, and have come up completely dry
Good luck with your search

to show how popular these are, i recently watched this one top $260 (let's just say my snipe was set much lower; the closing price surprised me a little for a 'defaced' coin)

<< <i>The '39-O is part of the Capped Bust Half Dollars Basic Set, Circulation Strikes (1807-1839) registry. I think it should be included in your collection, Ankur. And I think it is a particularly cool CBH. Mint mark above the date is sweet.

100% Agreed! Sweet!
