Cherries are in bloom on the 'bay.

Although R-5 and above die state bust half examples appear on Ebay reasonably often (at least in context to their rarity) one seldom finds an R-5 or above die marriage any more.

The O-113 is by far the rarest die pairing of 1811 with approximately 45 known examples. (Pretty much in the middle of the R-5 range) Now there is one more.

Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Excellent !
    It's funny, I cruise the 1811 busties quite often looking for coins just like this one...must've fallen asleep for a couple of days. Congrats !

    Rock on, specialist dudes, rock on. Good for you, and I salute your cherrypicks.

    I don't understand what the heck you're prattling on about half the time, but hey, it's all good. image

    And I do like Bust halves, quite a bit.

    Like the stretchy stars and flow goin' on around the rims on this one, for some reason.

    PS- I like your avatar coin a helluva lot more, though, for reasons you can probably guess. image
