HERITAGE BUST COINAGE SHOWCASE

Bust coinage covers a crucial period in early American numismatics, with silver issues minted in denominations ranging from half dimes through dollars. Notable types such as the Draped Bust and Capped Bust designs prominently feature the classical depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse, which was a popular motif symbolizing the young nation's ideals. Explore these coins through our January 6 Showcase Auction of Bust Coinage, with bidding taking place now through the live session at 7PM CT on Monday, January 6.

Bust coinage is often collected by variety, most notably the half dollars by Overton variety. However, specialists in other denominations love their varieties as well, and will pay nice premiums for rare varieties. This auction features a rare Browning variety, an 1836 B-5 Bust Quarter graded VF20 by PCGS. This rare variety shows a diagnostic die crack running from the rim through star 1 and into Liberty's neck, where it joins an equally heavy die crack from the rim through the curl near 6 in the date. At a high R.6, B-5 is, by a wide margin, the rarest 1836 die marriage. A rising crack through STATE on the reverse confirms the late die state. This coin is plated in the Rea-Koenings-Haroutunian Census.
