Earlier today, from work, I emailed two CCF members for their opinions on a bust half I will most likely be putting a payment on in the morning. I will post that here even though its not a deal yet but very close. (O-115)

Now in a weird twist of events it sparked a conversation with a buddy and I ended up trading him a coin I dont need anymore for a completely different bust. (O-113)

So looks like I will have a few cool pieces coming in soon! The third coin is one ive shown but is on its way here now. (O-114)

Wow .... all three are spectacular looking coins.

Whoever took the images of the 1827 (O-115) did a great job ....

Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

The toning on the 1818 is gorgeous.

Wow! A few years ago I wanted to start collecting these, but the prices starting moving a bit fast. Feels like I missed out.
Rest in Peace

Wow! Very nice trio! I like that they are all fairly early die states without the obverse stars reaching for the rim.

I agree with nickel I wish I knew the tricks of the 1827 photographer. All are very lovely coins but that 1827 photography is spectacular

Well, at least the 1825 is common....

Check the die crack progression on the 1818 once you get it; the earlier 114 seems less-common than the later 114a although both can be found in Mint State. If you're patient, and have deep pockets. I think yours is O-114, and likely the scarcest variety you own now.

We discussed the relative rarity of O-115. PCGS has 19 of them in their population. And a grand total of 6 O-114's, and 22 114a's. ANACS data is similar, although they have a few more of 1827 O-115 than PCGS, but none in Mint State.

You've done some work here, friend.
Rest in Peace
