mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 11/17/2014 02:51 am Irregardless of the grade of any Half Dime, as long as I can at least make out the date, I have always enjoyed accumulating these type of coins just because they are so rare and definitely unique in terms of their denomination. Also, it's incredible to realize that a Half Dime could have purchased so very much more back in the day compared to what it could now.... Wow, where would the world be today compared to 200 years ago without inflation? My purpose is not to change the nature of this thread but just to make a simple personal comment about what has to be my favorite coin. mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff

Exactly, just yesterday posted a Farthing a little more than 700 years old, at that time an archer (skilled soldier) got paid 8 of them per day (= 2 Pence, ie 1/120 Pound or just over 1 Cent) and a single Farthing could buy 4 glasses of brew.
