2 down, 85 (or so) to go.
Thanks for the additions to this collection!
are you buying contemporary counterfeits in TPG slabs ?
I own a handful...but I'm not particularly looking for them - but they are fun conversation pieces!
Obligatory TTT - I haven't found any of the varieties listed above which have been for sale lately, so I'm hoping this bump helps!
1 more down, several dozen to go!
A couple more from the list added, a couple more previously unrecorded varieties added as well. Thanks all, and keep'em coming!
Acquired another 5-6 varieties to fill my collection at the end of last year, but there are still about 80 varieties out there which I'm missing. I'd like to fill another 10 holes in this set this year - aggressive goal, but I'm up for the challenge!
If anyone can help me fill a hole or 2, or more, I would be quite happy. I'm happy to buy outright, but I would prefer trades.
Thanks for looking, and making offers.
2 varieties just acquired - Thanks!
8 more to go for the year.
i would like to see your prices for your CBH dup's... Ill be interested in some...
Are you looking for this one? It is on a larger planchet than a 38 of that year

@pocketpiececommems - thanks for the response. This is actually a 1838 Davignon 3/E regarded as one of the most common contemporary counterfeit CBHs known. That said, unfortunately it is not one on my list which I am missing.
Cheers!
And thanks for your info. I just collect holed Bust Halves and this one wouldn't fit in the album. Obviously it did circulate

Still on the hunt!
