Well I'm posting the only one I own. She may be ugly and a little scratched up, but I'm roud of her!!

[WinstonWare]

That’s a nice one Mike . I’d be proud to own that.

 

Bsshog40, I actually don’t find your coin ugly…it’s more that the coin has been messed with that is a turn off to me. It isn’t an historical representation of what an 1821 CBH aught to look like. That said, I’m glad you like it.

Your 1807 is a stunner and it came from a good home.

Nice, Very Nice!!

[Count_Erfit]

My halves at present:

 

 

 

Ain't got no CAPPED ones so hafta use a cap on a stick

 

 

Any restrictions to only SILVER ones?

Mind if I ask what grades the 1795, 1803 and 1882 are? They are three very nice coins and would love to have those dates myself.

The 1795 is labeled VG-8 but I think awfully close to Fine

The 1803 is XF-45

And the 1882 is ANACS PF63....which should probably be cracked. There are some lines but VERY minor. Really flashy. It caught my eye from the end of an aisle in a show.

[rbrown4]

Excellent, I can't tell from the picture but is the 1795 2 leaf or 3 leaf? Also are any of the letters over punched - S over D, A over E or Y over a star?

 

I like that coin a lot.

[Count_Erfit]

2 leaf, plain Jane, no wayward letters.

 

Just a ole four bits piece.

This one reminds me of The Star Spangled Banner, Francis Scott Key, and the War of 1812. Lot's of history behind these old coins.

 

 

[rbrown4]

You're not kidding about history behind these. These older halves are definitely eye-catching and show true character. I bet they could tell a tale....
