<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8646924, member: 101855&quot;]The Director of the Mint in 1811 didn&#039;t think much of half cents. He had the mint strike all of the half cent planchets that the mint had on hand at that time, included many that were shall we say, the bottom of the barrel. For once, the claim &quot;struck on a porous planchet” had some truth to it. That’s why it’s such hard date to find in nice condition. There are two minor die varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
