    This is from a company that should really not be selling coins. But notice at the bottom text-"A famous one states "Fifty Cents Or A Dollar". Does anyone know of a bust half that states this on a coin originally minted that way? img617.jpg I'm not a bust expert nor do I know the Overton varieties so I'll leave it up to an expert here that might shed some light on this.

    I want one of those errors. I'll bet they're not selling any of those, though.

    Lettered edge often had all kinds of issues with the letters, I got one the got spelling issue. Not the kind that spells "Dollar" instead of "Half A Dollar" of course...

    What's worse is they are talking about the history of the Bust Half Dollar, but the ad says Pre-Civil War Silver Dollar, not half dollar. So what are you even buying?

    I like how they list the "manufacturer's suggested retail price." o_O

    Many of the lettered edge coins had that sort of thing; both dollars and half dollars.

    And the dies had nothing whatsoever to do with the edge lettering; that was created by the Castaing Machine. The fail is strong with that one.
