    I just started collecting these Half Cents so this is only my second one. I bought this one yesterday for my set. This one is the Medium 5 with no stems.

    Very nice looking and it’s what, 217 years old? They are a beautiful coin.

    I love old copper and the designs they used in the early 1800s.

    So do I. Actually, all older coins are much more attractive than today’s coins.

    That is a very nice example. The 1805 half cents are FAR RARER than the 1804, which is the most common date in the series. The 1805 C-1 might be an R-1 variety, but it's tough R-1 variety.

    I just began my classic head half cent recently. Don't tempt me! And that coin does look magnificent!

    That's a very nice 1805! A great pickup! I probably would have bought that one myself at the right price. The prices on these seem to have gone FOOSH upwards recently.

    I have an 1804 and an 1806, so we have a run going...
