    Hello Everyone. Next up is a 1854 half cent. The color and toning kind of stand out on this one. Doesn't look to be in to bad of shape. What is your thougjts on this one? Thank you all for participating.

    Ditto. Nice details, but poor surfaces, I'm afraid.

    Still, it's a half cent.

    Very wrong.

    But it's still a half cent with strong details.

    If it weren’t for the severity of that one spot, that one might have been treatable.

    Still some surface roughness, but getting better! That one is acceptable, for the most part. There is the matter of the rim cut. But... not bad.

    They've both seen their better days. Personally, I don't think I'd be happy with either, even if I found them on the street. I'd pick them up and sock them away, but that's about it.
