Picked up some new Draped bust halves since my last post here.

I love these and they both take center stage in my collection.

Very nice coins! I'd love to have one of those. What the heck is going on in the 5 of 1805? It looks like there's a die crack or overdate or something.

 

Yes, Its an 1805/4 overdate...kind of hard to find. I think the overton no. is O-102 but I can't swear to it due to the crack at star 7.

 

Those are some sweet bust halves. I just bought an 1817 from someone who "knows nothing about coins", and the picture on ebay looks like it is an 1817/3.

 

I love draped bust halves. I'm curious as to what anacs graded your bust as. I'm guessing 20, and if that is the case I would agree.

The only problem with draped bust halves, is I can't find any for less than several hundred dollars

 

They called it F12 if you can belive that.

Very nice looking coins, I also like the bust coins. By the way the pics are excellent, I'm still trying to get consistant coin pics. Thanks for sharing.:thumb:

 

I'm guessing they knocked it down a bit for the old cleaning. I would recommend trying to get that coin upgraded if you ever plan on selling it. I think it would grade a 20 without too much trouble, and at the very least a 15.

 

Pcrdnadave,the 1802 looks very nice with the lovely toning.

Hey I have a good story to tell. I am really into coinsand was looking at some of the coins my uncle has, he had some good stuff, noting that really jumped out at me. Anyhow, I looked at his stuff and then he pulled out a little box, said it was my little cousins coins that her grandfather(Ritzo) left her when he passed away. I didnt expect to see much, cause I knew Ritzo didnt collect coins. Anyhow, I was shocked to open the box and find 6 solid rolls of just Bust half dollars. Some real early ones too. and they were in great shape. so 6 rolls is 120 coins, WOW!!! Shes got better coins than I do, and she hasnt even seen them yet. Shes still too young to even appreciate them. Oh and there was alot of other great coins i the box. Some flowing hair large cents and alot of 20 cent pieces. Everything that I have none of.
