  I've never held a half cent in my hand surprisingly. One day I will get one though. That one looks nice!

  I normally don't care fiddle-dee-dee about specialist varieties, or the condition census thereof.
  
  That being said, there is one VERY nice looking half cent.

  That one always does well in the Whists ("competition" between two collections by die variety popularized by Sheldon).
