GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/17/2015 07:09 am Some of my favorite coins are the odd ones that make their way to the Red Book. Like this one 1837 Half Cent (hard times token) Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/17/2015 09:08 am Before I take off to put in a long day at the coin shop, thought I would post one more. For me finding the right coin to fill the capped bust reeded edge port in my 7070 has been a challenge. Might be because I passed on a really nice one years ago. This is the one holding that spot for now. 1837 Capped Bust half dollar (50 cent) Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/17/2015 10:26 am Nice coin Jbuck Looking at yours ... And looking at mine. There must be a lot of these coins that have weak strike on the reverse. Edit ... Not meaning in anyway to be negative ... I just find it curious. When I look at mine ... I see it weak at "cents" Edited by GR58 07/17/2015 10:28 am Report this Post to the Staff

Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 07/17/2015 11:46 am My Hard Times Token. I have read that the tokens were not allowed to identify themselves as "one cent", thus the adoption of the motto "Millions for defense, not ONE CENT for tribute."

Unlike some of those VAM's where a microscope is needed. Here's my 1837 Bustie. Fairly decent strike. We can never see enough of these, right? Report this Post to the Staff

I probably should have been clearer. To my unaided eye it did not immediately jump out, especially in a 2x2. When I finally saw it I knew I was buying it.

jbuck Moderator United States 192314 Posts	Posted 07/17/2015 5:31 pm I was referring to the Bust Halves. My next is for 1827. However, I will have posts for 1835, 1834 (x2), and 1833 (x2) before then.
