<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sundance, post: 448502, member: 15863&quot;]Today I held in my hands...the most gorgeously stunning 1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent. :bow:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I gasped when he brought it out to show me...there was only one flaw on her, someone lightly scratched a small H in the area beside her chin but that was it! The date stood out magnificantly and Liberty&#039;s face was flawless. The color of the planchet was a light chocolate brown, deep enough to show she has never been cleaned but not too dark to hide Liberty or the wreath. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was practically hyperventilating and my hands were trembling as I looked closer through my loope. The rim edges were still completely reeded, it was if no one had ever touched this coin. The wreath on the back was pristine...The words &#039;Half Cent&#039; kept changing in my head to &#039;Buy Me!&#039;...I wanted this coin like I have never wanted anything else before (I always tell myself this when looking at a coin I am lusting after btw <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) but alas I set her back on the counter, took a step back and calmed down before I dropped the staggering 1500 bucks quick. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He tells me that he doesn&#039;t care if anyone buys them...he keeps them locked away in the safe and only brings them out whenever someone asks about them. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>How do you do it? How do you drop 1500.00 for ONE single coin? I have never spent that much...but I am slowly saving today&#039;s nickels and dimes to afford the yesteryears I love so much...and I still am amazing that someone can spend that much for something so small. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyone want to &#039;loan&#039; this copper addicit the 1500.00 needed to get her fix??? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> :desk: :computer:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
