"Half Dollars Rule"

Started yet another set...

Greetings everyone,

I forgot to mention in my latest post that I picked up an additional coin on Teletrades Monday pm auction. (I really like those guys at Teletrade.) Anyway it is a "Capped Bust Half". I actually had purchased another one a year and a half ago but it's in an Anacs holder so it can't be entered here. I really love the look of those old silver coins. The one I have had for a while is an 1820 over 19 in 10 condition. I forget the Overton (sp?) desig. as it is in the box at the bank. I think I will crack it out and send it in to NGC on my next submission.

The one I purchased yesterday was a 1827 square base two and a "O-141" desig. I really think I have found a new series that I will enjoy trying to put a date set togeather. When I was putting it in my newly formed set, it being a PCGS coin, more info was needed and I could not believe how many differant Overton coins there were for just that one date. It kinda reminded me of all the differant Vams there are in the Morgan Dollar series.

Having said all that, what I need from you that are "in the know" on this 1807-1836? 75 or so coin series is what is the top referance book or two on these coins. I want to also pick someones brain as to which coins to go after first and while I would like to have them all in "mint state" my pocketbook is hurting already so I think I am going to shoot for 30-45 on the 1-70 scale. I would love to know which coins it would pay to go up in condition and of course "the keys". I would like to go after those first if I possibly can afford it. So if any of you have "a degree" lol in these Capped Bust halves, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks in advance for any help you can render. Hope you are "having fun" with the hobby! Happy Collecting! WKF
