<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harley bissell, post: 3035505, member: 88212&quot;]I have the coin somewhere but I don&#039;t have the ability or equipment to post photos. Yesterday at my coin club I bought a ziplock of twenty 1700s and 1800s coins for $9.50 at auction. The 1700s were a 1750 swedish and a flowing hair half cent. The balance were mainly 1870 Spain and Belgium coins. The reverse is a strong fine but the date side is pitted and corroded. It will take a very long soak to have a hope of learning the date. The starting bid was $3.25 and three of us noticed the half cent. I run a worst possible collection of US coins so it will fill a hole no matter what date it is. I rarely find a half cent for less than thirty dollars and I won&#039;t buy them at that price. I enjoyed picking US coins from the junk bins of dealers in Europe from 1974 - 1977 primarily around Augsburg, Bavaria, West Germany. Good memories, thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
