The bustchaser blows it at the auction

I only planned on winning one. Actually, I ended up with two. Now I get to figure out how to pay for them.

Mmmmmm, nice coins.

 

Nice! ...and no 1827s

 

Was that Sheridan's auction? Lots of eye candy!

 

Yes, I could easily have spent a years salary last night. But, I DO have some self-discipline.

 

Well there are different dates if that helps.

 

I like the '29.

 

^^^^^^^^
What tibor said — Ditto.

 

What's Sheridan's auction ? Is that a site ?

 

Sheridan Downey is "the man" when it comes to bust half dollar dealers.

Wow, interesting, didn't know there was such a specialized site. So he does only bust and related coins, huh ?

Are there other sites for Saints, Liberty DEs, Franklins, etc....or not enough $$$ to make it worthwhile ?

Pretty coins.
Did you see the one Stack's is auctioning? You might have to mortgage the house though. (If you collect the quarters too) https://coinweek.com/auctions-news/...red-in-stacks-bowers-march-las-vegas-auction/

 

I got the 2021 EAC Sale catalog yesterday.
That seems to be my interest area now -- early copper.
But only Mint products, not colonials.
I'll have to see what if anything I can get from that sale.

Most are raw with their Newcomb variety identified, rarity and EAC grade.
Very few are slabbed.
I'm now a EAC member but still haven't weaned myself off slabbed coins

 

Very nice coins. You made a few collectors envious.

 

These are just awesome. I love the subtle changes in the design.

 

What a lovely pair!

 

With the title of the thread and your own comments, it appears you should come in to this other thread as well. Go find a seat and I'll grab us a couple coffee's.......

Seriously though, those are some fantastic CBH's. What's the green spot on the top of the wing on the '35? Is that on the holder or the coin?

 

I like them both, great find, good for you. Thanks for sharing.

 

i think you blew favorable trade winds, that allowed your ship to come into port loaded with high end merchandise. Lloyds is not happy you beat them at the game and did not bust up and did not pay them a premium.

Good job....but then again, I have watched you do this many times over the years.

I recall an 1809 some years ago that you taught me how to make a sail by using strong thread to begin with, when I tried to use cheap stuff.
