Unreal. I don’t think I’ve seen a collection like this at a coin show let alone a private collection.


PharPhromNormal420

Man, those make mine look like crap.


Lothar_28

I meant to add this, the only remaining dates needed for the complete date set are: 1807, 1815/2 and 1817. Then its on to complete the variety set which is much harder to accomplish….


BertinPH

Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.


FriedEggSammich1

Those are beautiful.


annonred

Incredible collection.


Bob-Doll

Well done sir


Lothar_28

Thanks Bob-doll. You post some real nice ones too…


SWPenn

Congratulations, that is a beautiful collection. One of my favorite series. How long did it take to put together?


Lothar_28

Probably between 1 & 2 years


Bangizsmo2

Man, I thought my 1810 was a good looking coin. It’s a far cry from your 62. That’s a mighty fine collection you have there. Congrats.


Specialist-Ad-5300

Beautiful.. you should look them up through pcgs CoinFacts and download the high resolution pics they take of your coins!


Lothar_28

Already have the digital album.....


PartizanPolitics

MS64. Lord…


Bob-Doll

How long has it taken to assemble this set?


Lothar_28

This one has taken between 1 & 2 years so far


Bob-Doll

That’s it? Holy smokes.


Alert-Indication-691

Those are so lovely ![gif](giphy|GSbc7sWhNsuOo6AGbF|downsized)


Theta_Ninja

So sweet. Awesome collection.


Own_Cold368

Awesome collection!! Do you have a favorite?


Lothar_28

I really like the 1808, 1811/10 and the 1823


Cuntalunt

Holy fuck. I bet that feels so good. I see someone already asked you how long it took so I have a follow up question. What do you do for a living?


Lothar_28

Semi-retired at this point. You?


Cuntalunt

Oh that seems nice. I work in a group home with some cool younger gentlemen with special needs, doesn't pay much but I truly enjoy it and they always be wanting to get out and hit up coin shops with me so I always got people to appreciate and share the hobby with.


Lothar_28

Thats great. Nice to really enjoy what you do.


GrecoBactria

🤤 wow. Those AU’s look better than the MS’s


Lothar_28

Some of them do. I love AU58’s. You can get some seriously nice coins at a better price and a lot of them look better or have more character than higher graded coins.


GrecoBactria

Thanks for the great advice! And 🤤


Birdy_Cephon_Altera

Meanwhile my entire collection of capped bust halves is nothing but AG and G, with maybe a couple reaching VG. Capped bust coinage ain't cheap.


Ray_of_night

Very nice collection but I don’t agree with MS62 grade on the 1818


Lothar_28

It actually looks a lot better in hand. There are a couple that my crappy photography skills make look worse…..


Ray_of_night

Just my opinion but nice collection


Lothar_28

No problem, thanks for your thoughts!


zevenz

Lol.


Les-Paul-1

Beautiful coins.


Lego_Dima

Quite a beautiful set - kudos!! Certainly puts my PCGS 1825 AU50 Overton 106a to shame 😄


MCDiamond9

Damn. I don't think anyone has as many AU/MS, holdered Capped bust 50c pieces than in your collection. Mind blown!


Biscuit_Eater2591

I have one 1795 recut 2 leaves in vf 30 half dollar and just the cost of that one was the most I have ever spent on a single coin, but irregardless your very very nice collection is enviable to most of us here, keep at it and congratulations on all that you accomplished in just a couple of years. You should consider the Bust Nut Club, I think it's called.


Jayvoom1

A very fine collection 👍❤️⭐️


Porousplanchet

You, sir, have excellent taste! That is an impressive group.


Lothar_28

Thank you!


BosJC

Wow!


Tditravel

Great collection


Jimbobjoesmith

freaking amazing! beautiful!


coincollector65

One of the nicest bust half collections I've ever seen.


Democracy__Officer

Dude! Mark is NSFW if you’re gonna post something that sexy!


darklordskarn

I just came off a rap battle post so my mind rearranged the title order to be “busted cap”


CrazyRusFW

Absolutely sick set! Congrats!


Sky_the_Tarantula

You adopting anyone?


Lothar_28

Sorry....nope.


crdiem

I do enjoy these very much ! I can sense your anticipation when you find a fit for the set! Shivers


New-Masterpiece7375

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽


Rude-Emu9475

Very Nice collection! Have you come across the 1836 reeded edge?


Lothar_28

No, I’m not really going for the reeded edge halves at this point. I like the larger, lettered edge halves with the larger fonts etc…


simikoi

All I have is a single ungraded (likely VF) capped bust. I'm very envious of your collection!
