bust trivia

These 6 coins (not these very coins, but the dates) serve a particular distinction...What is it?

I don't know if I'll sound batty but I don't think anything else stood out to me at first glance.. I'm gonna go with the 8s are upside down

 

LOL...while technically true, the same could be said for the entire century's output.

 

I got lost. I was looking and I see the 1807-1808 style, alright, so i moved on. 1810 has the second style used.. But then I get lost and I just don't catch it.

 

All are overdates

 

That's what I checked too but I don't see it in the 1810.. or 26

 

What was the question ?

 

AU'S?

 

None of them are 1827s, so they are unlikely yours

 

Reasonable guess. Each year does either feature an overdate, or provide the underdate for another overdated year--ie, 08/7, 11/10, 12/11 (actually the only overdate pictured), 14/13, 17/13, and 27/6 among others.

Not what I was looking for, though, as other years in the series also would then apply--such as 1818, 1819, and 1824.

 

BIG !!! Although I am rather obsessed with 27's, I do actually own the other years--just not as many of them.

 

As there are no known 1810 or 1826 overdates, I thought it must be something else. Are the 1810/1826 varieties last in the emission sequence?

 

There aren't any 1813 overdates, either. But no, the pictured 1810 and 1826 are not the last Overtons in the emission sequence.

 

Hint: Think about the overall years of the coins pictured--not the individual coins.

 

There all type 1,lettered edge.

 

I think I got it… the Bust half dollar was the only silver coin produced by the US mint in mentioned years.

 

Yes, I kind of thought it might be you who got it.

 

Can I play now?

 

Let 'er rip.

 

What do those two Busties have in common? There are a couple of things... and it's not the number of stars ;-)
