Re: Are the 1/2 cent proofs popular in the U.S...they all seem to be pretty scarce to very rare?
halfcentman Thanks!!! They where more for my brother but I guess he will simply stick with vintage comic books I will also stay away from them I prefer 1/2 cents from 1793 to 1811. What is your opinion on the 1831 1/2 cent? The original one I mean. By the way has your book on the 1/2 cents come out yet I would very much… -

pursuitofliberty I have yet to pay for the 1896-S I can still turn it down. Yes I do own the 1921 50 cent you mentioned (And would like to no longer discuss this coin here since the Webmaster has asked that it remain a U.S discussion site) and did so knowing the Canadian market very very well (and had the proper contacts… -

halfcentman Are there a ''lot'' of people who collect 1/2 cents that try to collect the 1831 or do most just stay away from it? -

Like this one on Ebay: Item number: 400332377516 Do not worry I do not want to buy it it is more for my brother once he decides to invest...I just want to know what to tell him regarding these coins before he does. -

BillJones Wow beautiful 1/2 cents for sure wish I had such coins!! Thanks for sharing. I see HLRC has a 1797 in PCGS G-04 but I find it a bit expensive for the grade but I find it to be a nice coin for a lower grade. -

<< <i>halfcentman Are there a ''lot'' of people who collect 1/2 cents that try to collect the 1831 or do most just stay away from it? >> Most collectors don't know anything about the 1831 half cents. If you count all of the original, first restrike and second restrike pieces that are probably 50 to 60 known. The coins tend… -

Matrix1980, If you like half cents here are two of my better ones which I have collected as type coins, 1794 and a 1795 This really is a Mint State coin although the date is a little weak. It is probabaly among the 10 finest known for the variety, Cohen - 1a. Amd here a lettered edge 1795, Cohen - 1. This piece was struck… -

Sorry, imo no one should treat coins as an investment, and I've been collecting over 40 years. A number of dealers, none of whom would I ever conduct business with, are happy to sell anyone coins as an investment with a confiscatory markup. If your brother wants to learn about the series, I'd encourage that. Buy the books,…
