<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2228429, member: 15588&quot;]When I was a meager tyke I once went to the local post office with a single penny in my hand and asked the postmaster for two half cent stamps. No, I&#039;m not older than Yoda, I was too young to realize that the half cent stamps I saw in catalogs predated my existence by some years. The postmaster, who I could barely see over the counter, just smiled and directed me to some other commems featuring exotic rodents or carnivorous plants or something...</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps I have a predilection towards small monetary units, because I can&#039;t stop my fascination for half cent coins. But here&#039;s the strange thing: I don&#039;t own any. I&#039;ve promised myself for years that I would acquire one of those age old relics from the times of the bisectable cent. Luckily, the new Red Book Deluxe contains a swath of pages on copper halfsies so I can learn more than I ever knew I could about these objects that have lurked in my conscious. I&#039;m still reading these pages.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any half cent hoarders here? Any advice for accumulating these interesting fractional rounds? I recently saw a slabbed 1829 in XF BN for $150. Temptation brewed but I resisted. I&#039;m trying to stop the impulse buying monster and become more selective.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
