Poll Question
I have a little jingle in my pocket that is about to burn through it. I found these two coins for my 7070 but I can only afford ONE of them at this time. Or should I wait for possibly something better to come along? I have received good feedback on both (there was an iffy comment or two on the Half Cent). Your comments/opinions are appreciated and welcomed!  1. 1853 Half Cent  2. 1858 Half Dollar

Buy the Half. The Half Cent is gorgeous but I suspect the color. |

The Half Cent looks like a nice coin to me but I just love large round silver.  Go for the half. |

Can I assume both of these are already in a TPG slab and ready for your 7070 collection? If so, I would go for the Half Cent. The Seated is beyond attractive toning for me. |

No dave700x, neither is slabbed (they would probably go for more if they were), but I have a dealer in town who can send 'em in for me PCGS or NGC style. I still don't like the ANACS slabs, and PCGS is beginning to drive me away too with their new clear three position insert.  Edited by oih82w8

I would buy the Half Cent even though I had concerns. Looking at it more, I think that it is OK. KK |

I like both, but the Half Cent looks a little too good. I don't know that old copper well enough to say it really is too good, but it has such even color it seems impossible. The half looks as original as possible. |

I voted for the Half Cent solely based on what hole is in my 7070.  |

Color is absolutely suspect on Half Cent; it looks way too even and not right. |

I'd go for the Half Cent. Mostly due to I see Half Dollars at coin shows all the time but seldom see a Half Cent of any kind. |
