Full Version: Round 3 - 1800 to 1899 AD - Y/DD
A coin I used to own one of, and hope to again, Netherlands 10 gulden.
The Bust!
I was soooo torn on this one. I finally went with the Half because if someone offered them to me but I had to pick one, it would be the half.
Bust
1830 Half Dollar, Small 0, O-118
10G wins the portrait battle for me.
Silver over gold most of the time. 
Gulden
Gotta be the half again.
Half Dollar

Good way of choosing. This one is hard since it's a bust versus bust and then an eagle versus a shield with a bear. I think I'd take the gold
Very nice AU-58 Bust "toned" half!.

I've always had a soft spot for the halves. I cataloged an old collection years ago for a friend to help it sell. I learned Overton inside and out given the variety in the collection and fell in love with the 1824 over multiple dates. I just couldn't afford the collection, but I enjoyed them for a couple of months. I still have a soft spot for the bust half. Its got my vote.
Again, one of those cases where I would prefer to have several votes. Hmm ... Wilhelmina.
(What I find strange though is that on one side of that coin the inscription is right along the edge while on the other side it keeps a certain distance.)

Not that I would not want one for a type
, I just have never been that fascinated with the US "Bust" design.
