jdavis18 Pillar of the Community United States 554 Posts	Posted 10/22/2024 9:40 pm I was hunting on ebay and picked up the NGC graded Capped Bust half. I don't plan on removing it from the holder, so please forgive my poor pictures. And let me know if you need close ups of other areas. I've convinced myself that this is a 0-118. Am I right?

Or provide a link about it? Thanks in advance. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

Or provide a link about it? I know there are a few books covering the series, but I use this free online guide http://maibockaddict.com/capped-bust-half-dollars. The 1829 O-118 die pairing has a R-4+ rarity. PCGS has only graded 15 of these and only 4 are AU or better. Report this Post to the Staff
DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 10/23/2024 1:09 pm Sure looks like it. Lot of time and dedication involved with cherry picking bust halfs. Nice score. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
