I currently have:
Draped Bust Half Cent (1800-1808)

I have owned:
Draped Bust Half Dollar (1801-1807)

That's it. Not that I HAVEN'T wanted to own any more of these, the funds just hadn't been there.

RYK · March 19, 2013 2:16AM

At one time or another, 10.

Currently, 3.

Sonorandesertrat · March 19, 2013 3:23AM

At one time or another, 15 (no Flowing Hair H10C)
Now: Libert Cap large cents, Draped Bust dollars

AnkurJ · March 19, 2013 3:25AM

12 plus many of the early gold pieces.

mbogoman · March 19, 2013 3:26AM

Just the three dollar types...

Vbowling299 · March 19, 2013 3:29AM

johnny9434 · March 19, 2013 3:46AM

lkeigwin · March 19, 2013 3:47AM

Just two.
Lance.

BillJones · March 19, 2013 4:45AM

I have all of them all including the gold. The lowerst grade is Fine-15 for the 1796 half dollar. The best grade is MS-64 for an 1800 half cent.

harveypb · March 19, 2013 4:49AM

2,3,13,16

Baley · March 19, 2013 5:36AM

I'm at 12 of these, hoping to knock out one or possibly two more this year.

BryceM · March 19, 2013 5:38AM

Two, with my eye on a few more...... someday.

CoinZip · March 19, 2013 5:43AM

Zero....zilch....nadda

I only have Capped Bust Half Dollars in my collection

silverpop · March 19, 2013 5:43AM

none

Bullsitter · March 19, 2013 5:43AM

Currently 3, 7 in the past.

LoveMyLiberty · March 19, 2013 7:34AM

I have 14 of them. I'm a Type Collector and still searching for
a nice small eagle quarter & half dollar.

Highest of this group is an MS-63 Lg Eagle Dime.
Lowest is an AG-3 Sm Eagle Dime that Feld talked me into?

OnlyGoldIsMoney · March 19, 2013 8:10AM

None - my collection's start year is 1840.

coachbedford · March 19, 2013 9:04AM

I have 7 on that list. I am weeping because I had once had 12. Then came 2009.

Justlooking · March 19, 2013 9:07AM

Struck out again.

sniocsu · March 19, 2013 11:17AM

I have 7. All ungraded.

lordmarcovan · March 19, 2013 11:57AM

For all time, seven, but just one, at the moment:

TireKicker · March 19, 2013 1:52PM

These are very cool, but not something I collect!

thisnamztaken · March 19, 2013 7:30PM

Oops. I checked "4" but then remembered my 1795 LC Cent, so should have checked 5. I also have multiples of a couple of them, FWIW.

rhedden · March 20, 2013 4:14AM

I have 9 of them. I'm missing all of the dimes and Dollars, interestingly enough.

TPRC · March 20, 2013 4:26AM

11 and working on the rest of them!

HoledandCreative · March 20, 2013 3:08PM

16 + 3 gold.

SeattleSlammer · March 22, 2013 1:09PM

nice one

mrpaseo · March 22, 2013 1:16PM

Zero

Most collectors will answer Zero on these tough types, as the poll shows. Most collectors seem to prefer something they can collect in uncirculated or proof grades
(or at least not genuine/details, as most examples of these early coins are, like it or not)

TomB · March 25, 2014 10:37AM

At one point or another I have owned 13, but currently I own only five.

sparky64 · March 25, 2014 10:39AM

I mis-voted 3. Should have been 2.

And one of those is a dateless Liberty Cap Cent.

kaz · March 25, 2014 10:43AM

5, no gold or copper.

Sadly, only one. PCGS 58 CAC

I like to collect type in AU and above and these early dates are too rich for me!

yosclimber · March 25, 2014 11:02AM

4 - probably the 3 cheapest Draped Bust types, plus the half dime with the date barely visible.
I was able to ID its LM variety to confirm the date, though! :-)

6) Draped Bust Half Dime (1800-1805)
13) Draped Bust Half Dollar (1801-1807)

No plans to expand my type coins, or even my other coins, but I still enjoy attributing photos of coins.

ElmerFusterpuck · March 25, 2014 12:17PM

Baley · December 5, 2014 2:31AM

<< <i>Sadly, only one. PCGS 58 CAC

Nothing sad about that very nice half cent!

TwoSides2aCoin · December 5, 2014 2:48AM

None. But I'd like a nice Draped Bust Half or Dollar.

CoinJunkie · February 2, 2020 4:19PM

Two. Draped Bust quarter and dollar. I'd love to own more down the road, but specimens that appeal to me at prices I want to pay are few and far between.
