Extraordinary Collection of Capped Bust Half Dimes 1829-1837 by Die Marriage and Die State to be Offered for Sale in January and August 2014
I will be offering for sale a very nice and large collection of Capped Bust Half Dimes 1829-1837 by die marriage, beginning at the Orlando FUN Show in January 2014. The second part of this sale is scheduled for the 2014 ANA Convention in August. Most of the collection has been graded by PCGS, with over half of the coins having CAC stickers. Most of the specimens grade between PCGS EF45 and MS63, with an average grade of approximately AU50.
The collection has a total of 90 die marriages and 25 remarriages, and many coins are in unique and late die states, including a number of coins with cuds. There are numerous Condition Census Specimens, Plate Coins from Federal Half Dimes 1792-1837 by Russell Logan & John McCloskey, and coins with important pedigrees.
A large selection of this collection will be available for viewing at my Table #1751 at the Whitman Baltimore Coin Expo November 7-9th. Table #1751 is listed in the program under W. David Perkins, Numismatist.
A listing of the coins to be sold in January 2014 at FUN should be available by early December. I have included a few photos for those who like late die states and cuds: Reverse of 1835 LM 5.2 with Cud, the Logan-McCloskey Plate Coin, Unique; Reverse of 1835 LM 9.2 with Cud; and Obverse of 1836 LM 1.2 with bisecting die crack (photos attached).

<< <i>Are you sure you are copying this correctly as with regards to the 1836 LM-1.2 with bisecting die crack, all LM-1.2's have it? >>
The attraction of the obverse photo of the 1836 LM-1.2 in the aforementioned email is that the crack is continuous and appears to be without circulation rub, which tells me that the coin is likely mint state. Plus, the photo was not high quality, and methinks the coin in that auction is going to be beautiful in hand...but we will have to wait to hear reports from those who inspect the coins at the Baltimore show.
Of the 92 die marriages I have 91. And of course the one I need is the 1835 LM-12. I still look forward to the sale to upgrade a few pieces.
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
