[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 757768, member: 2972"]I think you and I define "common" quite differently. :) Any coin you can find 10 examples of at any major show is common, in my opinion, and a circulated 1851 half cent is definitely one of them. Also, my advice about being picky and "common" was not so much towards the date, but towards the type -- the way the OP was collecting them. You can go to any show and find hundreds and hundreds of braided hair large cents -- they are a very "easy" type coin and thus my advice to the OP to be exceedingly picky. Lastly, my value took into the account that I suspect the coin has corrosion/verdigris issues, and the grade was a details one. I do reserve the right to change the above when the OP posts larger pictures. So I guess we just disagree, and that's cool by me. :) Take care...Mike[/QUOTE]
