<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4697259, member: 101855&quot;]The quarter is the best coin of the three. It is really nice. You might upgrade the dollar one day. Believe it or not, but the dollar is fairly easy to find in attractive VF condition. It’s expensive because many collectors like them because they are large.</p><p><br /></p><p>The half dime is small, but it’s “the big bear.” All of those little coins are scarce, and often prone to damage which causes them to get less than straight grades. As a collector, I saw my first one when I was a junior in college. The most common Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle type coin dates are the 1800 followed by the 1803. The most common date in the early half dime series (1792 to 1805) is the 1795, which tells you something. Usually the pre 1800 dates are the toughest.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will post my coins, but I won’t do it here. Some people accuse me of upstaging. I have loved these coins for almost all of my life as a collector and made a point of acquiring them when I landed my first job out of college. Since then I have collected the half dimes and the dollars by date and major variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
