As I've said I have a tiny collection but I like the direction it has gone in. Here are my three bust halves that reside with me at the moment. I've had a few others but these are the survivors so far. Let me know your thoughts and opinions both positive or negative regarding the coins themselves, or the grades. My pics are all out of order so I apologize.

1818 Bust Half Dollar XF40 O-114, R3 CAC




1831 Bust Half Dollar AU53 O-108, R1 CAC






1833 Bust Half Dollar MS62 O-106, R2 (Ex. Tom Sears)

    very attractive, and your photos bring out the colors well which is not so easy to do.

    Those are great! Definitely in the “what’s not to like” category.

    These are not my pictures! They were actually taken by two members here at some point before they made it to me. The only photos I took are these, with my cell phone and led lights. They bring out that 'inhand' no detail look but shows the shiny luster better.

    Haha its true! I'm new to this forum but have been on a few smaller ones for a long time so I know the general drill.=) various coin forums for the last 6-7 years and custom knife forums wayyy longer. But I am quickly realizing this is the place to go for the most traffic and responses! I have bought plenty of not so nice coins but after some years of weeding them out, I have about 15 coins in my collection that are more or less keepers for me. I try to buy the most beautiful original surfaced coins my limited budget allows.

    Nice choices! You're off to a good start. When you get to 100 die marriages join the BHNC! Or sooner, as an associate member.

    I recognize the 1833 O.106 MS62. I shot those images in March of 2018 (just the two circle-cropped ones), along with the rest of Tom Sear's bust halves sold to Sheridan Downey at the 2018 FUN show. That one I "tagged" in my library to consider buying due to its eye appeal. (Holler if you want larger images. The originals are very large...4,000 x 6,000 pixels.)

    Any of them could be a centerpiece of many collections.

    Felicidades!

    I think the 33 is my favorite ( but it was hard to come to that conclusion).

    They are beautiful! I would like to quote Lady MacBeth regarding the spot on the 1818 though. :)

    All are very, very nice. Love the AU 1831.

    Bust material is just wonderful when it hasn't been dipped white. These war horses are true survivors! Great start.

    Great pictures and quality coins..... That is a strange discoloration on the reverse of the 1818 though... looks as if it is the remains of some contamination....Cheers, RickO
