Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 07:56 am The 1801 looks like a good coin to buy. Decent AG-3 with no problems. The 1808 Half Cent looks good too. Off the cuff I'd say VG-8. I'm still looking for that one myself. That would make an excellent type coin. It has a little porosity but I could live with it. The other two I would avoid unless you can pick them up for less than say $70 max. If you've got the cash go for the 1808 Half Cent. The reverse is all there which is more than I can say for the other coins in that series. Also that is the last of the Draped Liberty series. By 1808 cents had gone to the classic head design and the other denominations started the Capped Bust design. Edited by Celticsoul 02/08/2015 07:56 am Report this Post to the Staff
Night-Hawk Pillar of the Community United States 1002 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 2:42 pm I agree with CS above. I like the 1808 Half Cent at VG08 and the 1801 at AG3. I would pass on the other two. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18649 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 6:56 pm I think the price they are asking is fmv for the 01 and 08. Unless you really like them i'd pass Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 7:14 pm I agree with the 1801 and 1808 being the best pick. Not a great price, but probably a fair price. Report this Post to the Staff
CopperCastle Pillar of the Community United States 1132 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 8:13 pm I would only consider forking out that much for the '08. Report this Post to the Staff
EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 8:35 pm I'll throw my opinion in there and say avoid the 1808, that's an easy coin to find in better condition and it has a lot of environmental problems. I like the 1801 and of the group would be the only one I would buy at that price. Report this Post to the Staff
