Not only does Dick have nice coins, but he and everyone that works with him are enjoyable to visit with and with whom to do business. He is a most knowledgeable Collector's Dealer and is very personable.

I have bought several busties from Dick in the past and he is a class act. I only wish I could meet him and thank him personally. Who knows, perhaps one day I'll get to a show he's at.

Marauderrt10: Thanks for your post. In reply to your above quoted question, the thread subject 1831 Capped Bust Half Dollar (O-102) is graded NGC AU-58
I cannot detect any luster breaks in the unprotected portions of the coin fields on either the obverse or reverse. Just very light rub on the highest points of Miss Liberty's Breast and the Hair curl over her ear on the obverse and the top of the Eagle's Head and upper wing tips with light rub also on the outer portion of the Eagle's right (viewer's left) wing.
I consider this to be a true "Slider" by strict definition with minimal cabinet friction, and that was also Dick Osburn's opinion.

<< <i>IMHO when it comes to bust & seated material in collector grades it is Dick Osburn and then there is everybody else. ... >>
Being personally very partial to seated material in collector grades, I always, and I mean always, stop by his table whenever I see him at a show, and he is as nice a guy as everyone else in the thread says. I just wish I could afford the better stuff...
