I would guess based on what I see for sale that they are about the same...1815 might be a little more scarce, but being necessary for a popular...
You're right. I was. I have a tendency to forget proofs/specimens since I don't collect them.
You say that you have done multiple transactions with the dealer. Has your friend? I am not a dealer, but I can see where the dealer might want...
Let's not get carried away...maybe 100X easier.;) I could FIND either one. I just choose not to spend what it would take to acquire them at this...
No '36 reeded, either:sorry:

Bust half fever is a real thing. One starts out with a single coin for type. Then, hey, a year set is doable. Then it's how about a Red Book...
Oddly missing? In nearly 50 years (actually 48) of specializing in capped bust halves I have never owned an 1832 large letter reverse. It's...
I need to bring my collection home and take consistent pictures rather than catch as catch can. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] No halves minted in 1816....
