  No can do with half dimes (1792 - 1873).

  They that can give up essential Liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither Liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin

  Mr half Dime with a technicality!

  Show us a first and last year then.

  Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?
  
  
  
  A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
  
  
  
  A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

  How about 200 years worth?

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.
