These are both C-2 1808/7 Draped Bust Half Cents. The first is an early die state and the second a later die state with the cud over TY. Not very nice, but still examples of a early and late 18/7 die states. Hope you enjoy. BTW, still lacking an 1806 small 6 with stems half cent.

    Very nice <3:)

    ...I don't have this one yet, but on my list.

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

    This issue usually comes ugly, don't worry.

    Nice coins.
