Last week I went to the Pittsburgh ANA WFOM show as mentioned in another thread. My coin club, the Bust Half Nut Club, organized a club meeting for everyone attending the show. Actually it was the first time I attended, as I am a new associate member. The meeting was at a nearby hotel, which used to be a bank building. The meeting room was called « The Vault » and when you look at the picture you know why I met great people with collections that include coins far more desirable than mine. Everybody was really nice and some helped me looking for decent coins at the show. If anybody is interested in focussing more on Bust half dollars, the various varieties and die states, please PM me. -Mike
That’s one of the coins I purchased, it’s much nicer and more lustrous in hand. Sorry, that’s the best I can do with my mobile phone now. That’s how XF coins are supposed to be looking ;-) @Treashunt @okbustchaser @Eduard @ldhair @calcol
…and a picture of a presentation of Glenn Petersen at the BHNC club meeting. I sure enjoyed it and as said, if anybody is interested in Bust halves and die marriages, please get in touch.
Always willing to share the knowledge and forward the expertise and wisdom. That's one of the things I like most about this platform.....
That 23 is sweet! I probably would have guessed AU on it, based on the amount of luster I see. I wasn't able to attend, but one of my favorite dealers (Eye Appealing Coins) released Part 2 of a huge collection of bust halves (The Odyssey Collection), and I was able to pick up my first 2 Draped Bust halves. I'll post them when I get them... they are rare varieties and they are beautiful.
Thanks, I didn't know that. They have some great coins. Huge is right. This is a link to their site. https://www.eyeappealingcoins.com/bust-coinage.html
