Wow, all are beauties, & while I usually stay away from strong toning, the '35 is one even I would go after! Congrats on these excellent selections!

Ah....you need to read the warning....half dimes can become habit forming.

 

we have a few in the shop where I work part-time. I have thus far admired them from afar, but I know that they're something that i like a lot.

I know that if nothing else, I will add one solely for type collecting purposes.

Any tips, warnings, or pitfalls?

 

For my collection, my only capped half dime is in my type set album so my main criterion was strike and eye appeal.

 

I think that I want one struck on a screw press, rather than a later date, but I was asking experts what to look out for.

There's a really good web site one bust half dimes.
www.everythinghalfdimes I highly recommend you take a peek...

 

The 1845 looks damaged at rim. Is that not so important?

 

Love the quote on the page “whoever said building a website was easy never built a website”

Great stuff and good reference! Thanks Paddy!

 

Ah ok. You sending them out?

 

The Capped busts, yes, most likely.

 

To those who think that there are no quality coins not in slabs, eat your hearts out.

 

How much were they, if you don't mind me asking?

 

$33
$300
$400

 

new?

They look kinda old.

 

That's the pot calling the kettle black

 

Nice photos toning on the 1835 is really nice
