You could start another one with DBH or early halves Echi.
I am sure that you already know that one is O-119 (R-3) don't you Dave? Such a great pictures as well, (I thought that I was on the Heritage site for a few moments).

That one was a fairly quick flip, zeewool - I never attributed it.

I normally don't spend more than 10-15 seconds on a CBH Dave....except for some of the rarer ones that I have never seen before, then I just toss in the towel. These are much easier than vams, of which I only know a handful, so I could spend days trying to figure out the variety on one of those and still never get it right.

I didn't post too many lettered edge coins, (for personal reasons), and won't post too many reeded edge either, but I will bore you to tears with a few of the scarcer varieties. While the lettered edge varieties are prefixed with an "O" for the guy who fathered the numbering system (Overton), the reeded edge are prefixed with "JR".....Jules Reiver is the guy who came up with the numbering system, and it is rather coincidental the the initials for the varieties are his, but he claimed that the "JR" is for the designer of the reeded edge halves ( John Reich). Anyway, here are few 1837 coins..... This is JR-2a (R-6)   This is JR-2b (R-6)   Here is another JR-2b (R-6)   |

The best thing about reeded edge CBH is that the field is still wide open......if you are interested in rarities, then you can still get in on the ground floor. The reeded edge were left out of Overton's studies for some reason, and Reiver never published a book other than a small pamphlet, so the popularity of die varieties never got off of the ground ( YET). If you can find a copy of Reiver's work on this type, you will still be able to score some major rarities with relative ease. This one is JR-3b (R-6)   This is JR-6b (R-6)   Another JR-6b (R-6)   |

Of the reeded edge years, 1837 is my favorite because it has the largest amount of dies used (like 1827 for the lettered edge).......being the big year, there are more varieties....more varieties mean more rarities......If your logic disputes this, consider this:.....the 1815 varieties total one die pairing....an R-2 with a later state designated as R-3. Anyway, here is JR-12 (R-6)   This is JR-22 (R-6)   Another JR-22 (R-6)   |

Had enough of the R-6 coins? I have more, and R-5 coins a plenty. I am going to give you a break and wind down with a few R-7 coins now though. Tomorrow is my birthday and I have got a buncha stuff to do today, so I'll cut this short here. This is JR-1 (R-7)   Here is another JR-1 (R-7)   This is JR-14 (R-7)   |

That is an incredible run of 1837s you posted Zeewool!! All I can add to that is one you might not have. 1837 Davignon Obv3/RevC also known as Riddell 472   |

Holy Hornswallogers Zeewool! That's what I'm talking about! Those are some absolutely amazing (and RARE!) 1837s! Nice work, my friend! Your 1837 smorgasbord is my predicted highlight of this thread!  Just for everyone to know just what does R-6 and R-7 translate to numbers of minted coins for that die marriage? Ok, 1837! (If my Nigerian internet will allow!)
My one and only 1837 (Unknown JR) JR-2a (R-6)
Thanks Zeewool!!
 And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ZEEWOOL!!Edited by Moe145

Sorry this is late, but the last two days have been insane for me. Here is my 1836 CBH. The photos really do not do the reverse justice--if you hold the coin up to a light, the cyan and rose toning in the fields around the eagle's head look like a sunset. It's amazing.   Edited by Adam590
