A couple of purchases from my recent visit to Florida

    I thought I'd show you the few coins I bought during our holiday in South West Florida.

    The 1/2 dollar 1807 (variety O-112, 50/20, R1) picked up at the Summer FUN Show is VG10, maybe a tad better, is the most variety common of the date, but still a nice coin with nice surfaces. It is my second example of an 1807, but I like it as a date as it has, along with the 1808, a distinctive bust compared to latter CBH issues.

    The 1810 cent also from Summer FUN is nice as well VG10 or so, with only minutely granular surfaces and nice appeal overall. Tom Reynolds tool a look at this one and agreed the surfaces where OK for the issue.

    My best purchase was this 1822 quarter, an underrated date according to experts in the series. I already have an ANACS VG10 from a Heritage sale. This one is better and fully original. I really like it.

    So we are back home now from a nice vacation in the sun. As was to be predicted, the weather in Germany was cool and rainy when we arrived back home. I almost miss the sweltering heat of Florida!

    nice 1810 large cent, those are get pretty tough above g4, and they almost all have some surface issues.

    Thank you Beef1020. I thought the 1810 was nice too for the grade, and by far a better buy than some others I saw at the show.

    Here is the reverse. As seems to be often the case with the Classic heads, the reverse is better struck than the obverse.
