| Thanks all. The full date really drew me in for this one. I've been neglecting getting half cents for a while simply because I've allowed myself to get distracted. My father took our family on a winter vacation years ago when I was 8 or 9 and when my sister and mother went out for the day he took me to a coin shop that he noticed on our way to the hotel earlier in passing. He took me inside and bought me an 1806 draped bust half cent... I'd say about VF25/30 raw for $40 or so. There was no looking back after that. The coin bug had me there. |

I'd go with the Franklin Halves- without full bell lines. You can do an VF-XF set for the 35 coins for round $500 with the price of silver. Just grab some raw Franklin Halves from a local coin shop every time you go to fill your coin album. Plus, you have some silver coins when it's all said and done! 90%.

Very Nice ASE. Love the 1st strike issues.
That IHC has some very nice color. IHC with color have me doing a double-take.
1794 half cent C-4 small edge lettering. This is my first half cent pre 1800. I finanlly came across an affordable one that wasn't fully corroded. The tiny hole didn't bother me in the least. It adds charachter.

@DearbornThe Greatest Generation is spectacular! I need to get one of those. @GLB49 I'm always a fan of the silver bicentennial set. Everyone should have that one... especially with the 250th anniversary on the horizon.@cptbilly Nice American Eagle...I only pick them up from time to time and was unaware there were type I & type II reverses with the 2021 release.
My new filler for my slowly building album. 1875 seated quarter
