Since we have the draped experts here what do you think of this one? At first I thought it had just been buried but some details look odd, like the reverse lettering seems very thin. Electrotype or ?

My thought process followed yours exactly. First glance at the obverse, it looked OK to me despite obvious surface issues, but then I looked at the reverse and that lettering did look odd indeed. Dunno.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
I just bought another extremely well preserved 1798 cent S-166 cent from one of my detecting buddies. It's amazing how often they've turned up around here, and usually in really high grade, like this piece, which I estimate has AU details. The environmental damage on it is quite minimal for a ground find.
<< <i>So Rob, You say you like the 1807/6 overdate huh? >>
Oh, man, that's sweet, and totally cool.
Now having a wee bit of seller's remorse over your acquisition of the Spiked Chin half cent in the OP. Maybe I can arm-wrestle you out of it again one day.

Hoard the keys.
Bought this one back in March 1992. ANACS graded properly back then, as PCGS and CAC agreed.
I just bought another extremely well preserved 1798 cent S-166 cent from one of my detecting buddies. It's amazing how often they've turned up around here, and usually in really high grade, like this piece, which I estimate has AU details. The environmental damage on it is quite minimal for a ground find.
But I don't have any pictures at present.
