Complete Series of Draped Bust and Lettered Edge Capped Bust Half Dollars

Hey Kyle, thanks and that is a great idea

Great idea. I edited a message in the 31 thread.
Thanks Kyle- that is really nice of you

This thread is a good idea. Now you will need to edit it twice a week for 14 or so weeks. You may set a record for the most editing of a single post.

Good morning folks.

<< <i>How can it be a complete series if it stops in 1836? >>



The idea was for it to be a photographic reference to different Overton numbers of the lettered edge halves.

I like having them all in one place! Thanks!

I did.

Since there is very little activity lately in postings for this Capped Bust Half Dollar series, I guess CU forum members have not been buying Busties.

I have a lot of coins ready to post, but I do not like to make consecutive postings. If you want me to post coins, somebody else needs to show a coin first.

this coin was moved to the proper thread.

This coin has been moved to the 1808 thread.

Great looking coins edmerlr
It is a pleasure seeing some of the CBH's in your collection.
Each posting of yours is being viewed and admired.
Welcome.

Technically I am outside of the date range of this thread but being that the coin is a bust half another member of this board (Tydye) and good friend thought that everyone here might appreciate it. It is a coin that I picked up last week as part of a trade. Eleven examples are known but only four that are in proof 63 or better. The coin is one of the first branch mints that was noticed by col lectors for its rarity in the 19th century and the first coin struck by the New Orleans mint. Early documentation shows that "less then twenty were struck" the key word being less. Quite a few examples are known in EF even though they all started life as proof.
This particular coin has an interesting provenance including At water, Colonel Green, Reed Hawn et al. So without futher ado introducing the latest addition to our Americas collection the 1838 O Half Dollar;

Anybody want to start an 1807 draped bust thread?

Good looking thread and some awesome coins to boot.

Take Care

Thought this thread might be worth reviving.

<< <i>Thanks for raising this thread from the dead. I had the one missing variety from 1813 all along, and I was able to add it to the 1813 thread. Now the trouble is that many of the other threads are missing pictures from 6 years ago, so I think the bust nuts among us should get to work and update them! >>




I'm working on it.....
