NEW DS PROGRAM--Lettered Edge Capped Bust Half Dollar series missing DIE STATES---Can you show any?

mozin · February 1, 2007 10:16AM

Due to our newest CU members displaying their interest in displaying all CBH die states, instead of only marriages, I have expanded this series to include all the Overton die states. Some listed are recognized, but not listed in the Parsley fourth edition.

Some pictures were no longer showing, so we need some marriages that had already been posted.

Here is the list of Overton marriage die states that need to be shown: (The question marks after some of the rarity number means they are best guesses.)

1807 O-114a R5?

Thanks to the 151 CU members that have so far contributed to our series.

I will try to update this list often.

CoinAddict · February 2, 2007 4:59AM

Added the link to the Complete Series of Lettered Edge Capped Bust Half Dollars thread.

mozin · February 2, 2007 5:21AM

CoinAddict,

Good thought.

=================================

It might help us to keep updated, and to bring this thread to the top, if members would indicate here when they post missing CBH marriages.

JRocco · February 2, 2007 7:11AM

I know I have said this before, but let me say so here.

Thank YOU Mozin for all the time and effort you put into this series of threads. It was/is an incredible success and a great source of reference for the CBH series. It is really nice to see the different marriages on real coins instead of always referring to pics in a book.
There have been a few great series of threads on these boards in the past several years (like the Frankie information series), but this one is right up there by the top of the list.

Thank you Mozin and congrats on a great series of threads

mozin · February 2, 2007 9:03AM

JRocco,

Thank you for the kind words. You certainly were a major contributor to our program, from start to date.

I did get a bit of a surprise when I started scanning my coins. Found two CBHs that I thought I sold years ago.

Since Amanda started the mint year 1827 thread, and she no longer chooses to post on CU, I prepared all my 1827 marriages for future posting.

This series has taught me a lot, thanks to all the contributors. Hopefully, I did not help start members collecting early date AU CBHs. Stick to VF and XF, and leave the AUs for me.

Lahcoin · February 2, 2007 9:23AM

I was looking over the list and I think I can contribute a few..hopefully sometime this weekend...tonight I'm in ultra-chill mode

mozin · February 6, 2007 5:17PM

I just added 1814 O-102, and 1818 O-107.

Show your Busties!

stman · February 6, 2007 5:23PM

This might help. Perhaps you can confirm 108?

pbfloyd · February 6, 2007 11:31PM

So when will you start a draped bust thread?

OKbustchaser · February 7, 2007 2:26AM

<< <i>This might help. Perhaps you can confirm 108?

That would be my attribution...

1 in date missing left base (although this is also seen on 103, however, on that variety all numbers in date slope to left. On reverse, E to D relationship in scroll to motto is wrong for 103.)

OKbustchaser · February 7, 2007 3:28AM

Just added to the 1827 thread...
O-112
O-127
O-141

Also, although included in above list 129, 130, and 137 are already shown.

Note to self. BREAK DOWN AND BUY A CAMERA! Then you can actually take your own pics rather than only posting seller's.

Thanks for the help. My spreadsheet for marriages already listed was corrupted some time ago. When I went through every thread and did it all over, I must have missed these three. There may be others I missed, but likely not.

I agree with you on stman's O-108.

mozin · February 7, 2007 4:10AM

<< <i>So when will you start a draped bust thread? >>

Sadly, I was not able to manage collecting the Draped Bust Half Dollar series. If enough of us prod Slumlord98 to start it, maybe he will. He certainly would do a fine job.

Prod, prod, prod...

mozin · February 17, 2007 3:09PM

Missing marriages updated above.

mozin · March 3, 2007 8:04AM

Show your Busts!

Lots and lots of duplicate marriages would be great.

mozin · March 15, 2007 5:56PM

Missing marriages updated.

99 CU members have contributed to this Capped Bust Half Dollar series to date.

mozin · April 9, 2007 3:42PM

Missing marriages updated today. As of today, 107 CU members contributed to the CU Capped Bust Half Dollar series.

mozin · April 15, 2007 6:12AM

Thanks to our new boy on the block, edmerlr, we have completed at least one marriage of 1808, 1809, 1810, 1814, and 1820. Wow!

If you are interested in Lettered Edge Capped Bust Half Dollars, listen to what Ed says about them, and study his pictures. He is one of a small group seriously collecting CBHs by die state, and he is willing to share them with us. Welcome edmerlr.

And let me also reiterate a thanks to you too Mozin for ALL your contributions and hard work---ALL those varieties you have been posting have been enjoyed also.

Edmerie-----I, for one, would be VERY interested in seeing different die states of many of the varieties in the CBH series.

mozin · April 23, 2007 5:51PM

Thanks to edmerlr we have fewer missing marriages. I updated the list.

mozin · April 28, 2007 10:09AM

List of missing marriages is updated. Edmerlr wants to include all die states. I will try to help.

mozin · May 11, 2007 2:10PM

List has been updated. We are nearing completion on a number of mint years.

Show your Busties!

mozin · May 12, 2007 3:50AM

Thanks to SomeGuyFromMichigan, who specializes in the 1827 mint year Bust Halves, we now need fewer 1827 marriages than 1828. Only 13 missing 1827 marriages, out of 49 minted for the year.

FEVER · May 16, 2007 11:42AM

Mozin,

I'll post some images tonight for a dozen or so on the list.

Edgar

123cents · May 16, 2007 12:03PM

Mr. BHF good to see you posting here. I look forward to your comments and posts.

speety · May 16, 2007 12:50PM

Don't have any missing varieties but i think this series of threads is one of the greatest (if not the greatest) thread series ever created on this forum. A huge number of experts has contributed to these threads and have led to a couple new collectors of this series, including me. It is truly an addicting series and i want to thank the people (esp. mozin for keeping up this series of threads) who made these possible and such a huge success!

Mark

mozin · May 26, 2007 4:05AM

List of missing marriages has been updated. We are making great progress. Keep posting those Busties. Remember, we want duplicates shown for every marriage.

fengk · May 26, 2007 5:28AM

I just added the 1829 O-106. It's nice that I can finally add to one of the threads with a new marriage.

mozin · May 30, 2007 6:46PM

NOTICE

Due to many requests, I have expanded this Lettered Edge Capped Bust Half Dollar series to include all recognized Overton die states. Please refer to the thread introduction for current information.

Thanks to everyone who has helped this continuing series to be such a huge success. Remember, we want you to show your coins even if others have already shown your die states. Duplicates are fine.

Show those Busties!!!

mozin · May 31, 2007 3:58AM

mozin · June 5, 2007 3:45PM

I have updated this thread to include the most current Bust Half Nut Club information as to die states that are believed to exist. Only two die states are still in question, and they have been noted as such. Note also that some of the die state information may be different than what is shown in the Parsley Overton fourth edition.

Special thanks to Edmerlr for his efforts in steering me in the expansion of this Lettered Edge Capped Bust Half Dollar series to include all die states. He now has me looking for die states, after over 35 years of collecting Bust Halves without much concern for die states.

Remember, we want to see your Busties even though their marriage die state has already been shown.

mozin · October 20, 2007 8:48AM

We now have 144 CU members that have contributed to our Lettered Edge Capped Bust Half Dollar series. It has been six weeks since the last missing marriage has been posted. Looks like all of us with extensive collections have shown all the marriages and die states that we have.

Time to show more Busties! Remember, we want lots of duplicates shown. We would like to keep this series alive for a very long time.

mozin · November 2, 2007 1:48PM

I just updated the start of this thread with current rarity ratings for the missing die states. Note that some of the rarity numbers are followed by a question mark, meaning they are best guesses for rarity.

There are many common die states still not shown. Show those Busties.

CoinAddict · November 11, 2007 8:06AM

Is anyone going to finish posting the DBH series? All we have left to post is the 1806 and 1807 and we will have threads started for all of the Heraldic eagle reverse halves.

JRocco · November 11, 2007 10:17AM

I will cover the 1806 Kyle.

CoinAddict · November 11, 2007 11:23AM

Great, John. So who wants to post the 1807 DBH?
