January 2017 - - FUN show report &
newps, plus 1853-0 NA half acquired
FUN Show Report & Newps
For the first time since I have been attending the FUN show, it was held in
Fort Lauderdale. This seemed to reduce the attendance, as it is easier to get
to Orlando or Tampa than Fort Lauderdale. We met a lot of people at the
show, including some new customers, but sales were less than expected.
Part of this is the trend for people to not attend the show to save time and
money, which leaves more money to buy coins online. We sold quite a few
Bust halves, especially nicely toned AU and XF coins, and we also sold a
transitional 1882 Liberty nickel. I want to thank my table assistant Dick
Graham for his customary great work during the show.
Now, on to the newps! We acquired one of the rarest regularly issued Federal
coins, an 1853-0 No Arrows or Rays half dollar in PCGS VF-35. There are 4
known, and this coin is the finest by 27 grading points! In addition, we
acquired the only known Uncirculated 1841-0 Baseball Die Crack Reverse half
dollar. We also acquired three rare Capped Bust dimes: an 1821 JR-2 in
PCGS VF-30, an 1833 JR-7 in NGC AU-58, and an 1828 Large Date brockage
which is one of only 3 known brockages in the Capped Bust Dime series. We
also located a wonderfully toned medal. Contact us at [phone] or

Vol. 5 of Seated Half Dollar Varieties released
Prolific author (and our table assistant) Bill Bugert has released A Register of
Liberty Seated Half Dollar Varieties. Volume V. Philadelphia Mint. 1839 to
1852. The book includes pictures and diagnostic features of all known die
varieties. Much of the information, including rarity ratings, has been updated
since the 1993 book. The Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Half Dollars, by
Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert. For example, the 1993 book hypothesizes the
existence of an 1842 Small Date, Small Letters half dollar, and the new book
shows the 4 coins discovered since 1998. Also, the 1851 half with the 8 in
the dentils (WB-8) was listed as possibly unique in 1993, and is now rated as
R6 in the new book.
This book is definitely worth obtaining if you are interested in Liberty Seated
Half Dollars. I already have my book and here is how you can get yours: It
can be ordered for $65 postpaid from Bill Bugert, 1230 Red Rock Road,
Gettysburg, PA 17325-6927. Bill will autograph your book upon request. Bill
can be reached at [phone], and his email is wb8cpv(S>earthlink.net
Upcoming Events
Our next show is in our hometown of Sebring, FL at the Elks Club on
Saturday, February 11. Please stop by and see us!
