I think I'm going to end up coughing out more than I thought initially and my only real consternation is resell in the event I get hit by a bus. If I hold this coin for 50 years it will probably balance out with inflation but if I get hit by a bus next week my wife is gonna need to sell it. I'm not new to coin collecting but I think there is worth in asking the question to folks who have bought specifically half-cents for a while. Its generally how I try to make informed decisions. I'm also cracking the coin for my CAPS album so it pains me to overpay than break the plastic...[/QUOTE]
