Nice color, especially on the 1834!

 

Thanks, What is the best Overton book printing to get?

 

The best Overton is the newest one - 4th edition edited by Don Parsley.

 

agreed, the 4th edition

 

Thanks, bought it today.

 

Nice additions.

 

Congrats! Bust halves have 300 varieties.

 

Wow, I was told these were O-105 and O-114 but I don't know and I don't think it matters considering these coins aren't in great shape.

 

I was told there were 448 (or so), but I could be wrong.

 

...but they're not in bad shape, either. The 1834 has a very pleasant look to it... just "good honest wear" and seemingly problem-free. A rare die variety (r.5 or better) in that condition is a valuable coin.

Use your cool new book to attribute them. You might get a very pleasant surprise, and are assured of a good time - educational, too.

Good luck !

 

I looked at that 1834 and got the feeling of falling in love again. I have to buy more lottery tickets, or start saving for some nice ones like that
