Bust half dollars

Wow, every single one of those is nice, OKBust!

 

Ok, as promised, here is my current Bust Half collection. Not nearly as many as some of y'all, but I like what I've got. For more details, see my Registry page: http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=73014

Is that all the 1827 dies marriages, or just most of them? I lost count after a while...

 

All but the big 3...O-137 (R-6+), O-148 (R-7), and O-149 (R-8) Short of having a cherry fall off the tree and hit me in the head it's as far as I can go.

Here is mine, acquired in the 1970's. The unusual line in the field is NOT a scratch, but it is raised. I have no idea what type of error it might be.

Jim that looks cool! Probably a piece of debris got on the die during striking. Was likely a one time sort of thing, because this die pair (O-105) is pretty common, and there is no mention of anything like it to my knowledge. Thanks for sharing!

Okbustchaser - I love that 1808 - want to sell it ?? :D

 

Actually I like all of them .

 

Thanks, Mark. I like it too. As for selling, well, everything I own is for sale--but, I don't think you would pay my price. ;)

 

Here are a few others I like...

Here is a raw one I have that was rejected by PCGS because of altered surfaces.

I kept the coin because I like it. This was purchased from Stacks last year as an original coin with the grade Au 50 . I did not pay a lot for it and the coin is probably XF45.
