... I finally completed my half dollars. Nice little capped bust (reeded edge) half to fill a whole. Excellent!  Quote:
On to large cents. Good luck!  |

Ok. Started my half and large cents. That draped bust has environmental damage, but it will do for now. What to do about that classic head!  |

Thx @Grapecollects! But that DB LC is a details coin with some corrosion (the black) and scattered pitting. Purchased raw for the VF details knowing the environmental damage.Going to eventually upgrade to a straight grade.

Here's a close up of the DB LC, showing that ugly corrosion. Still not a bad hole filler. It has that crusty, rusty film that covers the surface. Is that a fine layer of rust? Heavy "patina"?   Edited by Wizardnyc

I'm going to get a problem-free DB HC next. I never was an Early American Copper guy, but looking at these is pretty addictive. I guess that's one of the points of a type set.

And a braided hair HC has found a new home. Not perfect, but she'll fit right in. I hope everyone is doing ok.   Edited by Wizardnyc

Its looking like a great set so far! You've got some higher quality pieces for sure, I always thought it would be fun to do a low ball version of one of these... Keep working!
