[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 544559, member: 8959"]Thank you all for your comments. Treashunt, not to worry: there is indeed some concern in Germany among collectors and sellers of coins regarding possible legal problems, but this is restricted to ancient coins, specially if their provenance cannot be documented. My U.S coins are SAFE. Back on the topic of the 1836 Reeded Edge. Thank you VERY MUCH CappedBustDimes for your excellent article on the 1836 Reeded Edge Half! true numismatic research. I believe I had come upon your article while researching the issue, and was very much impressed. I note specially the questions and uncertainty surrounding the numbers actually struck: the figure of approx. 1200 originated by Breen does indeed seem too low if one considers the number of auction apperances of this issue. It is a scarce rather than rare issue. It remains however, as you point out, a historically significant issue. When i purchased this coin, I debated for a while whether to pursue the 1815 Capped Bust half (a recognized rarity), or this, the 1836 Reeded Edge. I decided finally to go for the 1836. Once again thanks for your comments. Eduard[/QUOTE]
