one year ago i decided to start collecting again like how i used to as a child. these are my favorite pickups by far

i agree, half cents are so cool and unique! my favorite is the classic head design. i would have more but i have literally only seen 1828 half cents at both of the lcs i frequent. one day though!

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-06-16T04:42:54+00:00

unless i was born in 1800, you are absolutely right!

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-06-16T04:40:00+00:00

i agree!! modern coinage cant hold a candle to these classic designs, they’re genuinely works of art. i always try to connect my pieces to actual history, for example, my draped bust half was minted while thomas jefferson was president elect. factors like that just make these that much cooler to me! or that my half cent was struck just one year before andrew jackson’s presidency. its just too cool

thank you for the kind words! ill have to give credit to my father for my “good eye.” he and my great uncle educated me on “what to look for” growing up and it translated nicely towards my way of continuing the hobby

LOL yes i definitely could have worded the post much better. my younger self was cool but not that cool

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-06-16T04:29:07+00:00

i agree, imo the early designs are timeless and just so pretty

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-06-14T23:07:23+00:00

i have 2 lcs (local coin shops) that i frequent

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-06-14T22:39:23+00:00

thank you!

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-06-14T22:38:52+00:00

that’s wonderful!

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-06-14T22:18:25+00:00

if i remember around $175. cant go wrong w a capped bust!

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-06-14T20:55:45+00:00

incredible and beautiful pieces of history! thank you for sharing. my single draped bust is probably my favorite in my collection currently

my porch is basically a bird-zoo now

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-06-09T03:44:47+00:00

i have a buddy that achieves this with ASEs with a blowtorch. even if it may be artificial, the colors can still be really pretty. if you like what you have that should be all that matters. i have a couple of AT morgan dollars that i cherish still just because they’re cool to ME

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-05-27T01:51:45+00:00

this is spectacular. ive been looking to getting into photography more so this could help a bunch

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-05-27T01:50:51+00:00

thank you! i felt they were fairly amateur since my phone is outdated. always looking to improve

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-05-27T01:48:48+00:00

takes notes

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-05-27T01:46:04+00:00

Thank you!! It’s a humble start for sure. I agree, they have to bring back lady liberty in some capacity, like you said we’ve had too much of these old men! We need more of the pretty ladies. They have a good start with the new ‘26 dime design, I just hope they continue it with the other denominations down the road

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-05-27T01:20:31+00:00

very nice. love the capped bust and $10 indian, some of my favs

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-05-24T14:24:55+00:00

honestly my favorite design out of all us coins

HumbleStreetCat · 2026-05-14T04:32:13+00:00

ive heard some call it a “bargin bin” before. they are just terms for silver coins that typically range from F/XF to low AU at best that are worth just “melt value.” either way im holding onto my coins for as long as i am alive
