numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11969 Posts	Posted 10/05/2026 01:38 am The Finest of All 1792 Half Dismes to be sold on Thursday this week on 10/8/26. This was one of the 4 specimens owned by David Rittenhouse, the first Director of the U.S. Mint. It was last sold in 2018 for $1,985,000 in a private sale. https://coins.ha.com/itm/patterns/1...ption-071515 gTK3ncJsZn8 1jD0K5oyPRg IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

gweidion Valued Member Australia 135 Posts	Posted Today 4H 46M ago I hope you'll let us know what it sells for. Personally I'd rather a big stack of Morgans or some Indian head gold. Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3745 Posts	Posted Today 51M ago The word "rare" is tossed around loosely. This coin, in this grade, with this provenance is a rare coin. What an incredible coin with an amazing history. Report this Post to the Staff
