1679 Half Guinea. British King Charles II. [ATTACH]
The point is collectors only have so much money PEROID. Unless inflation pushes up incomes to cover $5,000 gold, which would not be a good thing...
Since you are from the south, there probably were not that many half cents circulating there ever. I've seen some early half cents that must have...
My example is also graded MS-65. This was issued during the "collector period" for the classic commemoratives. For that reason, they tend to come...
Here is my pair. Both are Proofs. This one is an MS-64. [ATTACH] It has nice mirrors, but you have to hold it at an angle. [ATTACH] My...
This 1858 half dime is a Proof. That was the first year the mint made an effort to sell Proof coins to the general public. Before then they had...
I like that one. It's well struck with early die state dies. Many of the Bust type have mushy details or chunks of metal in the field because die...

The made for circulation Braded Hair half cents (1849 to 1857, excluding 1852) had low mintages, but they also did not circulate very well. It's...

In the early 1930s the economy was on its back because of the Great Depression. There was no demand for new coins.
That's a nice one. Most of the Missouri commemorative haves I see are "sliders" in my opinion with a light rub. Many of these pieces were bought...
Yes, it could be the last although @Troodon is correct about the Breast Cancer coin. The issues .999 silver now, and I don't see that changing....
I have stopped buying the modern commemorative coins because of the issue prices. I lost money on all of them except for the gold because the...
If there is no damage on the edge, it's probably a cud. The nickel alloy that was used for the Nickel Three Cent Pieces chewed up dies like crazy...
The early half dimes have fascinated me since I was a YN. Unfortunately I could not afford any of them until I graduated from college and landed...
Yes, I was thinking gold was too high when it was $1,800. :jawdrop: I thought I might be "buried" when I bought a one ounce American Gold Eagle...
