Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 7:13 pm Two new arrivals, both 1813 Capped Bust Halfs, O-110/R1. (I find the die clashes of the 1813 & 1814 CBHs to be fascinating!) Note the first one has a single die clash and the second has, what appears to me, a triple die clash. Obviously, at the 1813 mint, there was a lack of attention to detail!!

Classic Coins Pillar of the Community United States 940 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 8:51 pm Nice pickups, Moe! Those are some dramatic die clashes. This is what I love about the Capped Bust half dollars; the workmanship, and sometimes lack of quality control in every coin tells a story. Here is a different (much weaker) die clash on an 1813 O-107. The "U" of "UNUM" is closer to the curl of hair on this one. Also note the die crack through the hair.

The first one was attributed as an O-110. The second was unattributed, but it was pretty easy to see the multiple clashes from the seller's pictures. That's why I wanted it.

cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 08:29 am Beautiful examples Moe! The die cracks and die clashes are one of the reasons why I love bust halfs. It seems that each one is unique and they have so much character. I have an 1813 O-110 with similar clashing and often say that it may not be my best condition or most valuable coin but it's one of my favorites.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/24/2014 04:21 am I have to wonder what the guys at the Mint were doing with that O-110. Sitting in a corner, drinking rum, while the press was going WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM between two raw dies? Report this Post to the Staff
