Bust Half Dollar Collection; Overall VF-25

Team,

Almost forgot how forgetful of me. Recently, I'd taken my Bust Half Dollar Collection to the dealer I trade with, and he plus a couple of the local club member's examined it (109 total coins with 102 different varieties) for overall grade. It only took a couple of days for four members to grade each raw coin in hand. Most of my coins are raw and needed to be field graded, they will remain in this ungraded condition for the rest of my days anyway.

Here are the overall grades assigned by the guys who looked at them. The average comes to VF-28, but I averaged it down to VF-25 for the whole lot.

Fred - VF-30
Mark - VF-30
Sy - Vf-25
Clayton - VF-30

Ben:
Well, you are now at the point of asking for admission the Bust Half Nut Club.
requirements are #100 pieces (minimum) of Overtons.
Good luck.
Apparently, I read somewhere, a member has to examine your set and approve admission.
:thumb:
I am only at about #85 pieces, and going slowly.
(about, because I think that I logged one or two pieces twice.)

 

THATS RIGHT... ARE YOU GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS BEN ?

sorry caps lock.

 

Good Job!!

 

Wow, awesome coins Ben! Beautiful set! :thumb:

 

Ben said it before mate they is lovely

 

You're correct. One additional problem of living in the remote/wild portions of the Nation is I'm going to have to travel to Denver (9 Hrs) in order to get them examined by the closest member of the club to me. I will keep you posted, LOL...

well Ben, the good news is.. once you are IN the club... any others around you wont have to travel so far you wil be an even BIGGER asset then you are now

 

BIGGER ASSET??? hard to imagine...

 

Ben,

I have always liked your blue collar set of Bust Halves. VF is a nice average grade, as they are much more expensive in VF now than they used to be. :thumb:

 

BEN,
Congratulations on the set of halves! They look GREAT!! Good job!

swick

 

Nice halves....! Looking at the rest of your coins...that 1805 half is lovely...

Bone,
CONGRATS! I'm glad to hear that you were approved.

 

Nice overall collection Ben - Congrats again-

WOW,

A great set of one of my favorite coins.
Not only that but you led me to a new website to explore.

Oops.

Nonetheless, I am sure you will be approved.
