Welcome to the "Classic Gold Collectors Club!"
The 1838-C half eagle is hardest piece in the set to find nice. I looked at many of them until I found the one that worked for me. The 1838-C was not as well made as the 1838-D, which can be found in AU for a price.
My 1837 half eagle is in a PCGS MS-61 holder, and I am quite happy with it. I traced it back using the Newman Portal site to the 1976 ANA auction, which was held by Stacks' in New York City. There it was graded AU, which is the true true grade. Coin grades are quite fluid, as you probably know.
You might know that we are collecting "Mint Drops." That was name the opponents of Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren gave to them on some Hard Times tokens.

I am tied of Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and “fumble-roooskie” ads. I will go out of my way to avoid their products. (View Post)3 -

A terrible call gives Mahomes 15 free yards. The horseshoes continue. (View Post)2 -

Kansas City should change their name to “The Horseshoes.” They get every break without fail. They will probably luck themselves into another Super Bowl. Sour grapes? Yea, I’m tired of them. (View Post)2 -
Re: 2024 NFL Offseason/Regular Season Thread
No surprise. The Steelers look like the Eagles did in last year’s post season. They died at the end of the season. The Eagles at the end of last year would have lost to the Jets with Arron Rogers pas… (View Post)1 -
Re: Ideas for collecting Morgan dollars
It’s more than 10 or 15 coins, but you could do a year set with coins in the grades that fit your budget. 1893, 1894 and 1895 pose the biggest challenges, but lower grade examples are affordable. (View Post)1
