Hi, All

 

Here is another 1812 from my collection.

 

She has a die break along the left stars to the date and has a lot of luster showing even though she went for a dip along time ago!

Hi, All

 

Here is another old Bustie from my collection.

 

What is her Overton number? Care to grade her too?

 

Thank you.

Is there a "picpost for beginners" guide anywhere? I'd like to add to the thread.

[MBA101]

That 1828 is an O-120. And I would say it would grade EF-45

 

Here is a 1859-O Seated that I just got today:

[WinstonWare]

Oh I love that one – dirty and original. New Orleans with the rebels gearing up for the civil war. Nice

Nice original 59-O.

[MikeKing]

that is a nice original '59-O

may have posted this already but can't remember

[WinstonWare]

Yes I remember this one. Tom and I argued over which was the coolest overdate. He thought 1817/3 I thought 1815/2. As I recall, I handily won the argument .

 

This is a nice coin Mike. I don’t mind seeing it again

You know, even though I haven't posted to this thread in quite a while, doesn't mean that I don't read it.

You know I was just joking with you amigo

[TomB]

I know!

Well, I went through this entire thread looking to see what halves I have already shared, since I did not want to duplicate the images, and I decided to add this 1839 No Drapery Seated half. Those of you not familiar with this coin will not realize just how scarce the No Drapery issue truly is, especially when problem-free.

[MBA101]

 

That one is worth a banana!

[James_OldeTowne]

Mike, I absolutely love that 1817/3. It's such an underrated issue, especially that nice.

[MikeKing]

James coming from you that's a great compliment.

Tom, you're lucky you got her before her arm fell off.

beautiful original no drapery, extremely difficult to find un messed with and

extremely difficult to find period.

Great coin vtrockin! I really love your new half; it’s just the look I prefer for circulated 19th century silver, especially busts.

 

I was tracking that coin myself, but didn’t bid. I think you did real good reeling that coin in for yourself.

 

Congratulations on the win!

Thanks rexcat. It was my 2nd bust half purchase. I couldn't turn it down even at a premium - it has such depth to it. (I even had to make it my avatar!)

Here's 1839 Bustie that I had for a long time, I keep for its toning, which is warming looking than usually with a hint of brown patina. In hand Liberty’s bust seems to almost glow against the fields.
