Congratulations on completing such an amazing feat! Not only is it complete, but I love how well matched and eye appealing each coin is. How many years did it take you to build this?
Congratulations, @GoBust! Well done! What a beautiful set of coins! Hopefully you are correct and this will inspire others to build a die marriage set of reeded edge Bust halves. This weekend joined "Club R-6" with the lettered edge Bust halves with my first addition of an R-6 (1827 O-137).
Again ... congratulations on an amazing accomplishment!

The set started in earnest in 2006 with several key coins from the Jules Reiver collection. He was a mentor and friend to Dick Graham and wrote what I believed was the first pamphlet on reeded edge half dollar varieties.
