Beautiful examples posted here but I never really liked the Halves. I guess Lady Liberty looks too fat,which isn't phat

Beautiful photography, Lance.

lkeigwin,
Those are simply breathtaking.
I really would like to see CBH's like that, in person some day.

golden

Very nice.

JRocco

Beautiful examples Lance.
And great pics as always.
Here's to luster, tone and cracks

Very nice! What's not to love about Bust halves.....they are big, silver and beautiful coins!

AuroraBorealis

Lance those are beautiful! The strike and eye appeal on the 24 is exceptional...

Nice 1807 Rocco

I love these about as much as I love Morgan and Peace Dollars, they keep a good number of collectors busy so that I can collect other stuff with less competition.

Lance those are spectacular! They look better with your superior photo's.

I don't think Miss Liberty is fat or phat - maybe husky is a better word. Now Miss Liberty on a Morgan - that's phat. And let's not even go there on a Barber.

That's why I like seated type....she's got that 'far-a-away-look' going for her!

Great looking new halves you have there, Lance!!!

Sweet!!!

Here's a slideshow of Davignon's coins consigned to Sheridan for FUN

Lovely ladies AnkurJ, JRocco, Maibockaddict! Thanks for sharing them.

Winged Liberty, I like the '32. Be careful not to stray too much from your pretty Lincolns. Been there. They call bust half collecting a fever but it's really a sickness. Or disease.

Lance,

Great coins!

I am particularly impressed with the 1811. For reasons that I cannot quite articulate, i am much more partial to toning that covers the entire coin surface, rather than the dipped out, bright in the center, rim toned coins, although the latter are certainly lovely and very market worthy. Ankur's 1820 is super example of what I look for.

Way to go Ankur!

Unfortunately for me, most of the MS Newman CBHS up for auction have an eerily similar look, in the category that I tend to find less favorable, so I'll be passing on this round. Though I have no doubt there will be some record setting hammer prices.

Here's my latest pic up:


All the best,

That's an incredible 1808, scoobydeux. Wonderful surfaces and color. And terrific pictures.
Lance.

I always enjoy people posting their Bustie pics! Nice coins! Lance, great job on the Keith images, and nice selection of NEWPS!

Want to go watch more of the Ranger game and leave you all with some newly imaged gray-dirt

morgansforever

I have nothing worthy of posting but sure enjoy checking out some CBH's. Lance your pieces are wonderul, great imaging too.

coinlieutenant

Very nice!!

mozin

There are some very nice pictures of Busties in this thread. All my coins are scanned, so I am at a disadvantage to you camera boys. Anyone notice what these four Busties have in common?



1807 Small Stars





1808 O-108 Sold this one.





1809 O-115 Sold this one too.





1811 O-101a Punctuated Date

lkeigwin

This arrived today from Dave Kahn. It's an O.116, R4+, formerly owned by Overton/Parsley and auctioned by Downey on 8/16/91 as part of his MBA. It's a nice AU53.

Great thread. My focus is on other Half series but I do have a few bust halves. Here's one that a few people on the boards are familiar with:

Breakdown,

That '36 66 is FAB.

In general, '35 and '36 don't seem to get a lot of respect, being lumped in with the other dates of the '30s. But I've found that not only are '35s and '36s rarer, but that the extant specimens usually lack eye appeal.

Here's my '36--a humble 64 to your 66, but I personally like the look:

Only 26 more to go … woo hoo!

OKbustchaser

I haven't managed to catch many busties lately (Hey, I'm 60...so I've lost a step.) but here is one that I haven't shown here. Lousy photoes make it look cleaned and stripped, but in hand it looks much better--and our hosts agreed with me.

'Zin, so what do those 4 Busties have in common?

Here is my 1824 O-110 (4/4)

Well, for one thing, they are all in older ANACS holders.

Is it me or are these just about the best photos one could hope to get of this coin? Nothing like great photos to help you appreciate a great coin.

Those are lovely Lance! I look forward to seeing them in hand one of these days...

You will need to study all four coins to get the right answer. Someone should get the correct answer.

They also all appear to be slightly off center...guidoes???

JRocco

Hey Mozin,
The 1811 PD looks like the tough one to match with the other 3.
Other 3 show some MAD's, some planchet errors, Some striations in the incuse designs...but not all 4.
I'll have to keep looking.
And have to post a couple more.

johnny9434

that 1812 is a real beauty for sure

jom

Hey Lance, that 1812 is ugly. I'll do you a favor by taking it off your hands for you for what was obviously a mistake on your part.

You fellows trying to find the similarities in my four posted coins have observed many things, but the one thing they all have in common. "Wear" could it be? We might not get total agreement.

I thought about the "wear" on all four, but figured it is something else. They your only 4 XF's in your set?
