Found this nice looking 1808/7. The sellers pictures are kind of dark but it looks pretty nice from what I can see. I got it pretty reasonably!
Wow, that's really cool, wish I had one! I had a capped bust half dollar years ago and I sold it, it wasn't an 1808/7 but it was a sale that I regretted. Had to replace it as the sale kept messin' with me. To make it right with myself I had to buy another. Nothing special to anyone else but it works for me.
Nice! I know what that is like lol, in my searches for a decent 1820 regular date Large cent I've ended up with 2 of the 1820/19 overdates for really good prices each! .
I'm all over the place. There's absolutely no rhyme or reason to my collecting. I can be looking at Bogata stuff on Monday than buy Italian on Thursday. Than who knows. I do have a tendency to hyper focus on some coins....whereas I will look at 200 examples of the same coin over 3 or 4 days than go right back to the 1st 1 I looked at and buy it....and it's usually among the most expensive. It's weird. But thanks for sharing because I don't feel as bad about it now.
A 1820/19 curl base 2 was the first coin I bought as an adult about 12 years ago. Still have it. It's pretty nice but has a couple small Xs scratched into it. There's not a lot of them out there.
