collection of draped bust halves

Baley · November 4, 2005 12:07PM

brought some coins home from the bank to look at and take pictures

I like these coins because the dies were handmade by craftsmen, the coins circulated when our country was young, and because some of them are truly scarce to rare in any grade.

does anyone else collect draped bust halves and want to show some coins to the forum? I'd be interested in seeing some other pieces

You rock, Baley. That looks like fun.

BlindedByEgo · November 4, 2005 5:06PM

I want to do that, too. With whom do you bank? I'm opening an account there tomorrow!

How long did it take you to collect all of them??

EarlyHalfBoobu · November 5, 2005 12:02AM

DB day sounds great!

CoinAddict · November 5, 2005 12:32AM

Awesome set. Now all you have to do is show us individual pics of each coin.

Baley · November 5, 2005 12:52AM

Thanks guys, I've been collecting these by major (or "redbook") variety for about 5 years now.

Baley · November 5, 2005 1:06AM

1801 O.101

1802 O.101

mgoodm3 · November 5, 2005 1:14AM

Interesting slabs also. What's the slab in the upper right corner?

Baley · November 5, 2005 1:17AM

The 1806/5 is in an "NCI" slab.. you're right, I've also got a bit of a "slab collection", including an NGC (not pictured)

1803 O.104 "small 3"

1803 O.103 "large 3"

Baley · November 5, 2005 1:41AM

Baley · November 5, 2005 4:25AM

1806/5 O.101

Cladiator · November 5, 2005 4:31AM

Baley you need an 1806 O-129 in that collection

TomB · November 6, 2005 12:24PM

That's a frickin nice group of halves!

lordmarcovan · November 6, 2005 12:41PM

But he sucks worse than you do.

lordmarcovan · November 6, 2005 12:43PM

Baley · November 6, 2005 1:12PM

Baley · November 6, 2005 1:31PM

Cladiator · November 6, 2005 2:27PM

Here ya go Baley.

coinlieutenant · November 6, 2005 3:10PM

That was cool of you Clad.

slumlord98 · November 6, 2005 10:47PM

Ahhh, you guys suck... I'm resisting the competitive urge. Not well, but resisting nonetheless. Ohh, jeez, these images will have to be resized.

Cladiator · November 7, 2005 12:41AM

Do it slumy, you know you want to

SDCollector · November 7, 2005 6:14AM

Gorgeous coins.

ibzman350 · November 7, 2005 7:31AM

Nice

Herb

Baley · November 11, 2005 12:53AM

the 1806 pointed 6 no-stem through claw O.109

Here's another 1801 O.101, this one with nice detail but old scratches

I'll bet those scratches were inflicted while Thomas Jefferson was President

Baley · November 30, 2005 10:37AM

here's an 1803 with maybe EF details, nice surfaces, but the coin has a hole in it

how would you net grade such a coin? Poor? Good? VF35?

Cladiator · November 30, 2005 10:56AM

a HOLE!?!?

Ah come on now Baley...you know Draped Halves with holes aren't worth a dime! Geez man, get back up to par already will ya

mrearlygold · November 30, 2005 1:18PM

Neat-o Baley!

Baley · December 15, 2005 8:13PM

the very rare 1807 O.115

LoL Cladiator, no, it doesn't have a hole, and it's not as rare as the 1806 O.129, either

thanks for putting the collage together, btw

Cladiator · December 15, 2005 8:19PM

I'll add it to your collage photo when I'm home Baley. Very nice coin.

Baley · January 8, 2006 7:53AM

Thanks Cladiator! That should fill up the remaining spaces...

I wish I knew how to crop a circle around the coin. [i can do a square]

Cladiator · January 8, 2006 9:07AM

Here ya go bud. An amazing collection Baley. The '07 O.115 is spectacular.

mrearlygold · January 8, 2006 9:18AM

lordmarcovan · January 8, 2006 9:27AM

Baley, where's your O-129?
