[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4139290, member: 10461"]Nice one. Doesn't seem too banged about. Congrats. The half dime will be tough. When I was looking for one, they were all either very low-end and ugly, or very high-end and completely unaffordable. There wasn't much good stuff in between. I reckon folks hang on tight to those. I finally settled on an ANACS G6 for the Draped Bust half dime, even though I was really trying for a F+ type set at the time. I've had two Draped Bust dimes [I]ever[/I]. One was an 1805 in an early ANACS F12 holder, as I recall. I no longer have pics. The other is this 1798/7 which was made into a love token (it is datable because of the 16-star reverse). (Thinking about it, this is the only piece of 18th century US silver I have owned. I've had large cents, but no other 1700s silver.) I paid a buck for this, from a generous trading partner who knew full well he was giving me a steal.
