my first half cent

mact

I got my first half cent today and I like it. A nice glossy choco brown with a hint of original luster at the lower neck, bought as xf/au.

Looks pretty nice. That's about the same half cent I recently purchased.

Having samples of some of these odd size and denominations is cool.

By odd, I mean compared to modern cent, nickel, dime, quarter, half-dollar, and dollar. These same denominations have been available for over a hundred years. No new denominations have ever been added, and only the dollar has changed sizes.

I have the following "odd" coins myself...

Large Cent
Half Cent
Two Cents
Three Cents
Twenty Cents (most recent aquizition)
