<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 134351, member: 4626"]I just love obsolete denominations... and no US denomination is as short lived as this, lol (unless you count the $4 gold piece, but none were ever made with the intention to circulate). Still trying to find a decent 1/2 cent within my price range.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one had the distinction of having a nice surface still, and still had decent detail remaining. It seems every other 20 cent piece I could find was either so worn down, you could barely tell it for what it is, or it was in such high condition it commanded a price higher than I could afford. This was perfectll in the middle. I try to get at least VF/EF coins to collect, if I can't afford or find that will usually pass. I do have a few slightly damaged coins that otherwise would have graded in the EF range... if I can still see the details well I don't mind a few minor scratches or even dents, if the coin in the same condition without the damage would otherwise be out of reach. No damage on this one though! It's one of my favorite pieces in my collection, bought it with a portion of my tax refund this year, lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
