1824..a sleeper year for bust halves

lkeigwin · November 6, 2015 3:53PM

Considered a later year half, and not prized as much as those from the teens and earlier, the 1824 is one of the more fun years in the capped bust half series.

Three overdates were significant...the over/1, over/4 and over/various. Scholars say the over/4 was not a really overdate (instead, a RPD or re-engraved 4). The over/various, or 1824/2/0, is one of the more bizarre overdates. The working die was overstruck multiple times and maintenance to remove traces of the wrong numerals seems to have been slipshod.

Here are a few AU examples. Two non-overdates, and the 1, 4, and various.

The best part of the pcgs registry site is the hours and hours of enjoyment to be had by looking at the fantastic sets collectors like both mozin and lkeigwin have put together. Thanks, guys.

Hey Lance.

Beautiful group of coins and excellent pics as always.

I agree that while 24 is not an early year, it is one that I always gravitate to.

Your coins are awesome.

Those are some gorgeous Busties! Real eye candy. Thanks for sharing.

I have owned 3----a raw 1820, 1817 & 1812 that I sold about 5 years ago.

Maybe someday; I will get back involved with them.

They are beautiful coins!

Thanks, habaraca. My set may not be the biggest, but I take pride in the fact that it's all natural. Nothing artificial. No doctoring. Strictly original WOW types.
