So do you Moe. I purchased another one today, wouldn't have it for a few days but that will make 26 Bust Halfs in my collection. You most have at least 50, that's an impressive collection congrats. |

This is a general answer to your question. On average what I have found coins that have a rarity of R-1 and R-2 which is common and slightly uncommon would cost: G-VG $50-$60, F-$65-$80, VF-$85-$150, EF-$150-$200, AU-Above $200. Costs will vary with dates depending on mintage figures. Also as you go up in rarity the prices will increase.

Here is my latest addition, this one has me stumped. I can't seem to come up with an Overation number. I could use some help. Thanks, Ron 1811 ?   |

That is 1811-O108 Echi.....(on the reverse): Right edge of 'E' (in statEs) in line with inside left leg of 'U' (in plUribus)....
edited to add: Any other possibilities that may have this feature can be eliminated by other features. (it 'is' O-108).

you beat me .. I am to new with this book, but my choice was O-108 also.
I was looking at the lip .. it say the 108 has a chunk missing from Miss Liberty's upper lip.
And with the position of the I to T it has to be either a 102,103,106,107 or 108.
That is as far as I got with what detail I could see .. but was leaning toward 108 ..
then read your reply.

And you are a 'NUT', Moe.  I like the looks of that book you have there Goldie, How many pages are there? Are the descriptions fairly decent? I read the Overton book about a year ago and then tossed it in the trash. Some of the are "R" factors that I have been quoting may be way out of date.  edited because of that thing that must be in the site program (which guards against text message language). I know that I typed "R" instead of 'are'.  Edited by zeewool

GoldRush, the 102 and 103 are both 'large 8' dates.....(this one is a small 8).
The 106 and 107 are the same reverse die......the A and M in AMerica are joined at the bases.....(this one is not joined in that area)......
I would say that if you are using a book to match pictures and descriptions, you are going about it in the proper manner .....collect the possibilities, and then discard through the process of elimination. There should always be one possibility left over (only one possibility....... unless you did something wrong). The die 'is' the die with regard to CBH.

The book has 297 pages. Most pages have detailed pictures.
The author is using a system to attribute CBH dollars.
He seems to break down each die marriage by using the position
of letters and stars. There are several steps and I do not have the
process figured out very well.
For each year he has a chart. He places each die marriage on the chart
based on the position of letters and where certain stars point.
For example: he starts on where the "I" in plurIbus is in relation
to the second "T" in staTes. Then goes into where the first and seventh
stars points. At a denticle or between, or at the crown, before the crown .. etc.
Then he will go into recut letters or date, die cracks etcs.
I think it might get easier for me with some practice. But it is a lot for me
to take in. Some of the reference he uses can be worn off.
You all seems to have a much easier system, but maybe it is just a learning process.

I don't know, you may have found a gold mine in that book. I might think that full coin images might be useful as well, so your book, in conjunction with a site like 'coinzip' might be just the ticket.
