This past Sunday at the local coin show, a dealer called me over to show me something.
He knows that I collect Bust Halves so he pulled out this old Whitman Bookshelf Album
for Bust Halves 1807-1839 to show me. It even had the 1815, all overdates, 1836 Reeded Edge
and even an 1839-O half. All coins were VF -XF. It was missing only an 1807 Sm Let, & an 1814 & 1836 50/00.
The most interesting aspect of the collection was that each piece was HOLED.......
Anybody care to comment???

I'm sure one particular member here would be most fascinated
Maybe I could help him out with a missing hole...
edited to add -- sorry, just saw it was a SS 07 he was missing
Holed Busties
I could understand if they were keepsakes but then I would expect them to also have initials or something engraved into them.

All slots that can be filled post haste if you go to a major show and bring a hammer and nail.
