US half dollar year set

I was never a big fan of the Barber series either, but it's kinda growing on me. I have some for my Type set and, well, they aren't as bad as my first impression of them. I liked the toning on this one, but I eventually sold it because I didn't like the thumb print on the obverse.

I'm not really happy with the 99-O... I'm looking to replace it. (Hint, Hint)

The hits keep on coming!

 

Pretty collection.

 

So, finally done with the Barbers...although there are a couple I would like to replace.

 

okbustchaser, you have shown us some very, very nice halves from your incredible collection.
I am curious to know, which are your top 5 favorites from the many examples you have shown us? .

 

Thanks Eduard, (and everyone else) for all the complements. As for picking favorites...which of your children do you love the best?

Actually, the 1808, 1810, 1820, 1853, and 1865-S would be among my favorites although I do also like the expensive years like 1794 and 1815.

 

Now on to what many (although I prefer both bust series) people consider the most attractive design in US mint history...Walking Liberty Halves.

 

Well, here we go again...

 

Which series did you start with?

 

The 1916 and 1923-S would make a nice addition to my parents birth year set.

 

As a set, bust halves...first coins in the collection were WWII era walkers.

The 21 and the 29-S are from my parent's birth years.

 

I’m curious. Along the way, have you obtained any proofs?

 

No, just never really had any interest in coins which were meant to serve as collectables instead of money.







Of course, that didn't keep me from continuing the set after Kennedys were no longer minted for circulation.
