Beautiful coin! I would have bought that coin for that price any day! Thanks for the blog, and maybe consider either making a longer blog or posting things like this as a forum thread, just a thought.

Very nice addition! You got it at a killer price too! I respectfully echo LS. While I did enjoy this blog, I would have loved to also see some information about the history behind the engraver, and the allegorical symbolism in the designs. Thanks for sharing your new acquisition, and I hope to hear more from you int he coming days! -NM

What a great coin! You got it for a steal, especially since it is already slabbed. Good job A.J.! ; )

That's a nice pick up. You've been here awhile now and I would like to give you a little hint. I would like to see you write a bit more in your blogs. You write well and I want to hear more about your topic. Are you collecting this series? It's amazing how inexpensive one can find some slabbed coins isn't it? I hoe you take my suggestion for what it is, just a hint. My opinion. I could be wrong. Thanks.

sorry that my wordings were vague, i didn't know what to say at the time. here's a bit more detail: the coin's avg. price (according to PCGS) is $37. this is my 2nd Half Dime, my 2nd oldest US coin, and my 2nd NGC graded coin.
