<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 2280661, member: 36864&quot;]There are plenty of large cent die varieties seeing as these were still hand carved, but I personally find this type of collecting a little over the top.&nbsp; Not to bash anyone&#039;s collecting preference, but I&#039;d just rather do a date set and move on. I just completed the date run from 39-57 and am now doing the braided hair half cents. I&#039;d really like to do the proof set, but my wallet does have its limitations. This is my only braided hair half cent proof (as of now), but since I just bought a house and a couple of rental properties, it is likely to be my only one for quite a bit. With an estimated original mintage of only fifty coins, this one is elusive by any standard.&nbsp; There are known second and third restrikes of the 1852 made by the mint for collectors likely in the late 1860s.
