Half Cents 1793 to 1857

The Bust Half Nut Club
"The Bust Half Nut Club, BHNC, was established in the late 1960s as a group dedicated to collecting, studying, and sharing information among fellow members about Bust Half Dollars attributed by Overton die marriage. The primary focus over the years has been on Capped Bust Half Dollars (1807-1836). However, an increasing number of members are also keenly interested in the pre-Turban Half Dollars (1794-1807). In addition, the study of die states is quite popular."

The Russ Logan Collection
Russ Logan was a collector of bust coinage. He passed away in 2002, but before he did he managed to form one of the great collections of bust coinage. As listed on his memorial page -
HERE "He also co-founded the John Reich Collectors Society, a research/education organization for students and collectors of American coinage of the Federal period. Russ won the Jules Reiver Literary Award three times for articles published by the organization's journal, and he co-authored the books Early United States Dimes 1796-1837 (1984) and Federal Half Dimes 1792-1837 (1998), which won the Numismatic Literary Guild Award 2000 and rave reviews."
His collection was sold by Bowers & Merena, but it can still be viewed with pictures and prices realized at the following link. This is a very extensive catalog with as much, maybe more, information than some books on bust coinage.
