    They're too small for me to see well enough to enjoy. Having said that, I like the seated liberty no stars variety and the 1858 over inverted date the best.

    Half dimes are one of my favorite series to collect . Some very interesting varieties and since I enjoy both bust as well as seated coins it's a win-win for me.

    I only have two half dimes but I look forward to buying more! My next might be the 1852-O.

    Thanks. It was a pure impulse buy. I was browsing the inventory of a well known eBay seller of toned coins and I just knew I had to have it. I think it's quite sharply struck as well.

    They are in my "coins to get" list. However, I kind of tapped my budget this month with an 1819/8 Half Dollar, an 1858 Flying Eagle Cent, and an 1840 Sitting Liberty Half Dollar (1839 Reverse).

    I'm aiming to have my first half dime by December, and probably a 2 cent piece too of I can find a good one.
