How about an early half-dollar thread?? POST 'EM IF YOU GOT 'EM!

I came up with O-107...

 

Key is the first "T" slanting to the left on the Reverse...

[okbustchaser]

DD, check the E to D relationship on the reverse. On 107 the left side of D is even with the right side of E. On yours it appears that the left sides of D and E are even, thus my attribution of 105.

Nice 39 there Tom

That's not just an 1839, that's an 1839-O.

and a purty one at that!

Jim...

 

My 3rd & 4th Edition show the 107 with the "E" & "D" even on the left...

 

Is yours different...?

A couple of my favorites.

Wow some beautiful CBH's all

[MikeKing]

Here's an 1823 patched 3 I just got. It was described improperly as having hardly any marks, but I like the look of the coin, and it will hold me for now. I like it.

Just made it thru all 37 pages, I'm a slow viewer..."-)

 

Great Coins everyone and Thanks for Sharing...

 

Here's my third coin to the thred, the Clash...!

 

 

[rbrown4]

Very nice Dave.

[MikeKing]

That IS a very nice 1827 Dave, you've picked some fine coins.

 

I'll jump ahead by ten years; this is an 1837 I think I've posted before, but here it is again

 

[bsshog40]

Very nice halves Dave & MIke!!!

[MikeKing]

I'll repost the 1823 patched 3 using the dealers photos which are a bit better, but both lacking in focus

 

[rrantique]

Great coins Mike and Dave

[rbrown4]

How early is early?

Rey

[TomB]

As early as you want.

[JRocco]

Can't let this thread fall off

[TomB]

That is a very cool doubled-profile. The 1824-1826 issues are, in my opinion, the most often encountered issues with this feature.

[JRocco]

Here is an old beat up, but tough coin with some serious clashing to boot.

1813 O-109 single leaf

[bsshog40]

Nice old half there rocco

[WinstonWare]

That is a neat example of clashed dies

Thats a Double your Pleasure J

[James_OldeTowne]

I love these fish-gills, and they always seem to demand a premium. Very nice!

[rbrown4]

Nice Double Die JRocco

Here's an 1854 O Arrows

 

 

[bsshog40]

Nice one Rey. Let me ask ya tho', are those die lines or hairlines??

[rbrown4]

Sorry the picture was not that good, there are many, many hairlines and marks on the coin. It is NGC XF 40.

Well they must be dies then or it would've bb'd from them. Cool!!!

[rbrown4]

This one did get BB'd due to being "wiped" and I imagine dipped at some point. This is one of my early lessons in cleaned coins. The scratches were so obvious, but that is how we learn.

They do let some slip thru the cracks that shouldn't.

PCGS slabbed this one with no mention of a cleaning.
