[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 8000385, member: 19250"]Thought that this be an interesting thread....how about posting your White Whale and a little tid bit of how long you chased after it. Mine is actually two ,and it has eluded me for a decade. The 1858 half dime is ranked 75/77 mintage of 3,500,000 struck. However god only how many shows in the last decade I haven't been able to cherry pick an 1858 over inverted date, or the doube date varities. I have found some varities that are like R- 5 and couple R-7's. Much harder to find than a common date coins..... I have told dealer friends about the 1834 inverted 3 variety.... found in their inventory, but the inverted date,and repunched date has eluded me. Some say just go buy one! Bite your tongue....im a picker...and like Mel Fisher quote " Today is the Day"....I do believe that I nailed one of the two.....but stay tuned as it isn't in hand yet.....and the inverted date 1858 is still in the wild waiting to be captured. Arggggg So I will up date this in a couple of days as soon as the rpd-001 Breem 3090 1858/1858 hits the mail box. Meanwhile... what's been driving you nuts?[/QUOTE]
