Just got this last piece of the puzzle in the mail today. I decided to go "off the tracks" a bit and do a complete collection of Half Dollars (with the exception of the Draped Bust, Small Eagle of course) and the last member of the family just arrived. I came up with 25 different varieties from 1795 through the current Kennedys and will post them all in a new thread soon. It was a real hoot chasing down some of them.... Paleoguy45   |

(with the exception of the Draped Bust, Small Eagle of course) paleoguy . . . love the 1795. Whatsamatter - you don't have a spare $80K laying around. (Plus another $14K buyer's premium). That's the next bid on this example going off today from Heritage.  |

Nice coin.
Maybe someday I will break down and pick up ANY coin from the 1700's.

Where is the "Doh" facepalm smilie? So I follow the link above to the half collection, only to look at each half, then scroll down a bit past your 2007 Kennedy half and see a post I made last month on it. FACEPALM!
