Those are the ones I'm talking about. Just spelled it wrong. Been collecting coins for 40 years and there my favorite. Putting together a complet collection of AU-MS coins from 1794-1839. Alos putting another collection of the same years but in fine-AU condition.

I'm sorry, but you can't make a statement like that without posting pictures.

 

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

There are several bust collectors around here, with some mighty fine coins!

I would post the pictures but there in my safety deposit box. The 2nd one I have but there in a Dansco Album which has 8 pages. To many to take pictures of.

Just Bob. Nice looking dime you have. real nice colors. Looks like a 66 although tough to tell from picture.

Holy Smokes!!! I adore early US half dollars and would dearly love to see images of your 1796 and 1797 pieces. By the way, welcome to the boards.

Welcome to the forum, and I'd love to hear more about your collection!

[Coindude]

Bob, just wanted to let you know I love your dime. I've seen it in person and know how gorgeous it is! I think I have more pics of it if you want them!

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have a great collection.

[Dene]

I can't get pictures of my good bust half, but as I stated, I'm starting on my seconde collection grading from Fine-AU. Here is what I've got so far

[Dene]

Some more that I've had certfied

[physics-fan3.14]

Very nice! Looks like a great collection you have!

[Keigwin]

I collect early Lincolns and Peace dollars primarily but CBH's are fun (as Stefanie would say).

 

Here are a couple of AU's and a bunch from a box.

Yet another great looking collection! Way to go, Keigwin.

 

I'm thinking tomorrow I'll take a similar photo of my Busties, showing them all together in one shot like this. All of mine are EF.

[Old Pueblo]

I bet Boiler has some great coin to add here!

[jtryka]

Welcome to the boards! Yes there are a few of us that collect bust halves, some more studiously than others, but we all enjoy them. Do you also collect by die maariage?

[Dene]

Keigwin, You have some beautiful half dollars and some have great toning which I like on the BH, but are hard to find. Nice collection

A few . 1827 must mean something to you. Some of those coins if not already graded should be . Some are uncirculated
