关于此套币:
Collectors love Bust Halves so much that enthusiasts are called “Bust Nuts.” These coins are available enough in circulated grades to attract a large number of collectors, yet challenging enough in high grades and rare varieties to test the patience of the most determined.
The coins are large and beautiful and they are the handiwork of craftsmen working at America's modest early mint in Philadelphia. Hand worked dies led to many fascinating overdates and popular varieties. Everyone loves overdates, and between 1808 and 1829 there are nineteen different types. The toughest are the 1817/4 and the 1812/1 Large 8. Other fascinating varieties resulted from blunders made while working the dies. Some favorites are the 1807 50/20, 1813 50C/UNI, 1814 E/A and the 1836 50/00. In 1823, the 3-punch gave the mint workers a fit, leading to the “Broken 3," the “Patched 3” and the “Ugly 3”—all are beautiful to me!
If these varieties aren’t challenging enough for you, join the hundreds of others who collect the 453 Overton varieties spanning the years 1807-1836. There’s just no end to the fun!

Nice 1817 single leaf upgrade! A really tough coin to find in Au58 no doubt.
As far as I am aware, you are only the third collector to complete this set with you addition of the 1839 small letters reverse. Congratulations! Few collectors have had the privilege of completing a set that also includes the famous 1817/4 half dollar.
What a nice example of the prohibitively rare 1839 small letters reverse half dollar and literally from the collector who wrote the book on Reeded Edge Halves!
Hey Tim, I suspect some pretty cool 1820 half dollara are going to hit your set very soon!
Wonderful new and pedigreed to Dale Friend for both coins. Simply scrumptious!
Wow, two super coins, great additions
Great addition of another superb coin
Two more great additions to your superb collection!!! These are both amazing coins with terrific eye appeal and overdates - wow - high high can you go! Great to see you at the ANA Bayou Boy.
Now you have reached the top with an amazingly original 1817/4 King of Bust Half Dollars!
An uncirculated 1836 reeded edge, tough coin, outstanding and rare addition to your wonderful set! Keep up the strong showing, up, up and away!
Wow, what a fantastic 1812-101. Congratulations Bustnut
That's an incredible early die state of a 1812/1 Large 8 Half and an amazing find. Hats off to you once more!
Great upgrades T. The 1813 50 C/UNI in PCGS MS64, a top pop coin, and all the other upgrades sure keeps the pressure on me to keep getting better! Great to see you at the show and best wishes for a fabulous 2011!
You have added some superb coins! The 20-107 in MS62 and the 30-114 in MS63 are fantastic condition rarities. Congrats on your continued achievements with this fantastics set.
All the coins you have pictures of are really fantastic, great eye appeal. Bustnut
