I got this one at a local coin show today, a nice XF example of the O-121a.

Picked these up from the post office today, the first is an upgrade from a F to a VF, the second was not an upgrade based on the slab grade, but I think it's a nicer coin than my current VF.

Picked this one up on Saturday at the Grand Rapids Coin Club Show, I believe it's an O-115a.

Well, she ain't the prettiest girl at the dance but she's mine!

I picked these two up at the post office today.

I agree to a point, it's NGC's registry and they could do what they want.  I would have preferred a middle ground solution with PCGS slabs allowed but with zero points, that way those like BillJones and I that just collect coins, could have a central place to display our collection.  I suppose that could still be done with a custom set, but that just makes us feel like second class citizens, since my bust half collection wouldn't be seen with all the other bust half sets, or Morgan dollars or whatever you collect.

Nice busties and double eagles!

Nice to see the experimental edge on that 1831 and that 1811 is just cool!

I got this one today to feed my addiction...it's a dupe but with a modest die rotation I thought interesting, plus who can resist an overdate?

I picked these two up yesterday at the Grand Rapids Coin Club Show, fantastically enough they are both O-111 and both die marriages I did not previously have!

Very pretty busties!

Nice toned bustie!

Definitely 18..  I zoomed in as far as I could, but could not see anything.   Very interesting.

Well, having looked at it in hand, I can see 181, so it's either 1815, 1818 or 1819, so to be safe I just assume it's the most common which is an 1818.  Not sure if there are any Bust quarter folks that might offer any clues based on the reverse which has a bit more detail than the obverse.

Very pretty busties!

That's a swell 1916 SLQ! I got this one in the mail today, for once I didn't have this die marriage already, it's an O-115, R3 graded VF-35 by PCGS. Still has some nice luster remaining in the protected areas and some really neat die cracks on the reverse, including one through "MERICA" that leaves a lump protruding from the R.

I would guess it's an AU-58.

I would tend to agree, but believe it or not, NGC graded it AU55. If it goes up just one grade that doubles its value. Might resubmit it, but I'm not sure. I'm new to the slabbing concept.

I was going to guess it was a 58 based on the photos, they just make the coin look just a bit circulated.

Well, although I was in high school in 1985, I never heard the term sawbuck for that, I did hear another term for it, but to my knowledge it's always been a $10 bill (though still an addition no doubt!)

Well here's one that will impress you, I think it's an 1818, but I can't be positive, but for a sawbuck I can't complain! Found it at the local coin club meeting tonight.

Very nice!

I'm not much for bragging and despite the low mintage, this one is only an R.2, so not particularly rare!

Got this one this week, not so colorful as many of the others posted, but it fills a hole!

Picked these up yesterday.
