A few...but they lasted a while longer. There is an A model of the die marriage with cracks on the reverse.

Here's another one that had seen some use before striking mine.

 

I keep looking at the first S in States...I know it was positioned high, but it looks pretty much smeared at the top....is it damage, or wear? Maybe some strike weakness compared to S2?

 

Die erosion similar to the letters in UNITED.

 

I picked these up at an auction last night, an 1828 and an 1830 Capped Bust Half. 1828 mintage 3,075,200 and 1830 mintage 4,764,800 - relatively common for the type and less than $200 for both. I'm curious to research them for type / variety and all the fun that go with Capped Bust halves.

 

I found this one at the FUN show. 1824 O-111, I believe.

 

Pretty coin.

 

Nice double profile on that one. It seems like most 111's demonstrate this.

 

One more with a bit of doubling.

 

Only double profile I have so far.....

 

I only have 2, bought years ago from a guys father's collection that was passed down.
Both in Blanchard flips marked AU/XF
1829, normal date, small letters.

1834, small date, small letters, small stars.

 

As an 1827 aficionado this one is kinda special.

 

My latest Bust purchase

 

Here is a fun oldy, found an old Photo, I might have to find this coin and give it an update.
