1809 & 1811 Bust Halves

Here are two of my most recent acquisitions. Again keep in mind I'm trying to do this on the cheap, LOL, so... It looks like the 1809 has an extra star, yeah that's it The 1811 is considerably off center.

Hi,
Not bad! A question. I think there were several edge designs on the 1809 coins.

Some have XXXX between the words , some have IIIII between the words. The normal ones have stars on the edges between the words.

I also think that your 1811 is the "small 8" variety.

Which do you have?

have Fun,
Bill

 

The 1809 is a normal edge variety and the 1811 is indeed a small 8.

Thanks for looking

Nice Bone...let us know when the date series is complete..I'm thinking less than 6 months to finish.

 

The 1815 will be a big hurdle ot get over...

The 39 o is also tough and the 36 reeded edge is almost impossible some of the over dates are also tough.These can make good add ons to a date set.Then if you realy want to go bust half crazy you can collect varities.Once you get bitten by the bust half bug it is hard to stop, trust me I know,but I love it.
