Bust Half Educational Post-Props to Hoot and James

[Hoot]

Ok, since I stumped Hoot on the last one

 

1806 = O-116 I was just being nice to Tom.

1806 = O-116

 

(is there a site on the web that lists all the Overton numbers?)

Well, I had been hoping that more folks would participate since there seemed to be some interest in Bust halves, but then it was mighty quiet as for as attributions went. So, I figured that this might not have been the type of thing that lots of folks considered fun.

 

You, on the other hand...

 

Tom , don't sell yourself short! It's a great start to a great idea. As for me, all of you are way out of my league, but I have to look on the bright side........

 

There isn't an institution in this country that will charge only $99 a year and give you an education like this!

 

TO ALL!

Hoot, do you really think the 1806 is an O.116? I ask, aside from the obvious reason that I don't agree with you , because the O.116 has a stem through claw reverse and spiny has already told us that this has no stem. Anyway, I came up with an O.109a for the coin, which puts it as an R4. Now that we can see the entire coin, do you agree?

 

Note to self: Be careful how many times I don't agree with Hoot. After all, he likes to Bison-Swat!

I wish all Bust halves were as user-friendly as your, spiny! Again, I won't write what your 1811 is, but I do think that what you are referring to as scratches on the obverse may in fact be graffiti. If so, that is way more cool, in my opinion, than anonymous scratches.

 

I've attached your 1811 obverse, rotated it 90 degrees clockwise and inverted the image. It looks as though someone was roughing out letters in the field. I have an 8R like this, too.

Tom,

 

I love these threads. I learn best from hands on experience. Unfortunately I didnt see this thread until it was too late..

 

Here is my contribution to the thread.

Good eyes, Tom! I never noticed that. That is kind of neat, at least better than random scratches.

God, I love being wrong sometimes!
