Post Your Bust Half dollars

Well done bogo--other than the whole wrong date thing. That one looks like it would have easily fooled many a merchant.

Here's another that easily passed.

Nice one, cataloged in Davignon?

 

Yes, but I'm (at least theoretically) at work and don't have access to my notes.

 

Very cool. I don't currently own a copy of that catalog, but always loved the contemporary stuff. Too bad it is under-appreciated by many. Even the more common types are much harder to find than a genuine example in equivalent grade, but usually have lower demand and prices.

 

Looks like Davignon Obv 3, Rev E.

 

Yep, the most common of them all. I gave it to the person that attributed it for me as a token of my appreciation, as I originally thought it to be a modern piece rather than contemporary when I got it in 2011.

 

possibly Davignon
Obv 1
Rev A

 

My icon, one of my favorite coins and my favorite bust half:
1818 PCGS AU-58 CAC

 

I can see why it would be among your favorites. Very nice.

 

Correct, the label says O-116... excellent job, confirming the variety from those pics. thanks!

 

Was going through my collection for the first time in like 2 years today, turns out I had 2 bust halves in there (out of my total maybe 15 US coins). Both look like overdates, but I don't know about the varieties on these beyond what Redbook has.

 

Yes, both of your coins are overdates...the 1812/1 small 8, and the 1829/7.

 

Thank you for the confirmation

 

2.35 million 1808 $2.50 dollar
Pogue collection coin. Sold.

 

That is a very nice 1826 you got there.

 

Rzage is that your Bust 1837 ? Very nice.

 

Grandpa is who passed that one down to me.

 

Just picked up 3 Bust halves at the local show, so I figured I'd see if we couldn't get this thread going again.

First, 1832 O-113a

 

I am going to re-grade. I don't believe it was cleaned.

 

Also picked up this one at the same show......
