I love that look!
Great set to collect! As a big fan of CAC, especially for coins around 200 years old, you’ve got my vote!

@Baley yes the dime and half dime.... or I guess technically disme and half disme. That will be tougher for sure...
@remumc WOW those miniatures of yours are AWESOME! I'll be spending some time browsing your site later.
Really nice half. I thought about bidding on it myself.
