Does anyone here collect Half Cents exclusively?

This seems like an interesting series, and I personally don't hear much about it. I assume that it has a pretty large following and maybe I don't pay attention to it. Does anyone here collect half cents exclusively? How difficult are these to find in "collector level" grades?

  • Don't collect them exclusively but I do like them-- have 1 flowing hair half cent, 3 liberty caps, 5 draped bust, 2 classic head and one braided hair. Very happy to have a complete type collection. I really like Half Cents because any half cent of any type is in general, at least a scarce coin

    I think there's a pretty small following for half cents. i personally have three decent ones. An 1806 in VF, 1853 in AU, and my recently gotten proof (I love that coin, what's not to like about early proof copper).
