    Hey JRocco,

    It's great to see some of your coins! I love that 1808 102a and the 1811 trio is very nice. You have a great eye for quality coins.

    Here's a rather roughed up 1807 O.113a Small Stars. I've seen a fair number of this marriage with sort of a lost chin due to the wear pattern.

    1813 O.101a 50/UNI with a strong clashing of D STATE from UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the obverse under the drapery of the bust into the date - a clash that is less common than the usual, I think

    The 07's do have a unique wear pattern as you know zap. And I love SS's
    The clash sure is pretty strong on that 50/UNI
    Nice coins.

    Now that I look back at my 1807 SS, I find that with that wear pattern, I do in fact own a bearded goddess - it's just that she has a 5 o'clock shadow!

    PQType - those are stunning coins. Thanks. Someday I hope to have a few of those...

    My wife wants to remodel the kitchen. I'm at 85 busties with 79 die marriages. I might be on hold for a while. I am hopeful for the MOON show in Mpls in October. I've got some good coins to trade/sell in the hopes of getting one or two more nice CBHs. I need to wait until my 6th grader is out of college before I land coins like some of you are sharing, though. Patience...

    Thanks, everybody. This is a great thread. drddm - amazing!!
    Here's a few more from my pedestrian set:

    1812 O.107 (doesn't show the about 75 degree die rotation, but it does show the triple clashing on the reverse)

    1813 O.109 Ex-Richter (Anybody hear from Ed lately?) Shield clashing below ear and feathers in the field around chin.

    Great varieties zap...and all.
    What attracted me most to this series is the incredible varieties.
    Look at this 1812 O-109a
    Somehow a screw got between the dies and left a screw imprint on the reverse die.
    This coin series (untill 1836) was punched on a screw press.
    This one shows an uncommon triple clash also.

    Your tag line says it all - "Some coins are just plain interesting"

    I don't have the 1812 O.109a yet but am looking, for the very reason you state above.

    Here's an 1828 that had a toning that caught my eye, as well as a decent strike. Most likely toning after a light cleaning - still a fair amount of luster

    78saen - I love that dirty 1811!
    Crazyhounddog - that's a CRAZY 1812! What a colorful cameo
    grip - that 1818/7 is gorgeous and the 1830 really shows of that "bulge" effect in the toning in front of the profile

    Thanks for sharing.

    Here's my sentimental favorite - my first capped bust - 1830 O.122 (I found out much later! - Overton who...? Whaa...?). I was staying at a hotel in Oshkosh (b'Gosh) and found it in a jewelry store that had some old coins. I thought I'd buy my wife a little something and ended up getting something for me, too - this was about 10 years ago and I bought it on a whim. Little did I know what it was going to lead to!

    Great looking busties people, keep 'em coming.
    Zap1111, all the time you are talking sentimental, here is my first bustie I ever bought (raw from a fellow board member) which got me started on this series and eventually made me get "THE FEVER"!!!

    I can see why you caught THE FEVER after snagging this beauty. Just the right combination of dirt and highlight - lots of character. What did it grade? I'd venture a 45.

    JRocco,

    Thanks for starting this thread and for also agreeing with me that my first ever bustie, the 1822 above, should be a 45.
    I happen to love so many of the busties you posted. I am particularly fond of your 1808, 1824/2/0, and 1829/7.
