Wanna post some halves; 1794 - 1915.

Started this yesterday and it fell to page 3. No sense wasting a perfectly good start to a halves postin' page. Just finished the six-hole halve section of page 3 in the 7070. It feels good to have completed something. Those coins I purchased in the early days of the 7070 (particularly the 1861 and the Barber) are candidates for future upgrade (I have matured somewhat). But, for now I'm quite pleased. Thought I'd share this with ya'll.

    I particularly like your 53 Arrows and Rays- what is going on on the right lower side of the shield on that coin? Is that a clash or a die break? It looks interesting.

    I like the Busties as well.image

    My folder just happened to be open to that page. The 1812 is my favorite, although your seated halves are quite good.

    I bought an 1812 half for my book, but it was just too large in diameter. Luckily I found a nice looking 1827. I suppose I'll have to start a date set now...

    NHSB, I'm not sure? Chipped die?

    That is a great close-up- I'm guessing a major die chip or break- I'd like to hear from one of the Seated guys if that is common. It's very cool.

    This one is cabinet toned. It happened over a period of a couple of years sitting in an antique china closet.

    Technically the Bust half is outside your range, but I'm posting it anyway. I finally got the camera set up last night and took over 100 pictures, including these from my fledgling Circ Cam™ 7070:

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Sean, not anymore.

    Richard - I love the look of those '53s. The rays really accent the reverse.
