Thanks, all. Since these are from my type set there are lots of gaps in the dates. My next one will be 1804.

Here is my 1795. No date visible, but I can attribute it as a 1795 C-6 by other features. It's not very pretty, but it's my best Liberty Cap.

I like that 1/1 1797 variety Spence! Kanga, you have some nice Half Cents! Can't wait to see your 1804. That's my favorite year for Half Cent varieties.

One of the best known re-punched dates in our coinage history.

Here is my 1800. One of the first Half Cents I bought back in the 1980's. I got interested in them after finding an old Hewitt reprint of Gilbert's 1916 book on Half Cents for $1.00 at the flea market. That dollar opened up a whole world of collecting die pairs of US Half Cents and Canadian large cents.

Even though this 1800 isn't counterstamped, I like it.  The die break at 9:00 on the reverse matches that on a lower grade piece I had. Condition-wise, I found the planchet and milk chocolate color superior to all other my early date "little sisters."
