1810 Classic Head Half Cent

[toasted]

Hi all. Haven’t posted in quite awhile. Its been tough finding new spots and its been too hot so I havent been hunting much. Did manage my first decent oldie in over a month tonight though from a random spot along a creek. Toasty classic head half cent. Only my second ever too

Excellent find !

A very nice, very old half cent. This heat is pretty awful...especially if you are slogging through the woods. You get bonus points for getting out there!

That is an awesome find. For some reason I like half cents a little more than largies. Though I have dug neither great find !

Nice!! While I’ve found a load of Largies, I’m still “in search of” my first Half Cent. The detail is there, just hiding... awesome find thx for sharing... Ddf.

Nice find Toasted. The Half Cent is a tough coin to find ( at least here in Illinois ). I have only found one in 30 years.

Sweet find. I’ve always like the classic heads!

AG3 may be generous. Check the smooth, flat rims, heavy dings, and discoloration, and that's just the obverse. A dealer would probably retail it at 20, drop it in the 50% off box for a Sunday sale and be happy. I would be surprised if an ANA dealer would state he'd pay $10 across the counter for this coin.

Ive got a entire mason jar full of coppers that wouldnt fetch $10

Ive got maybe 5 half cents. They are much harder to find than large cents and British coppers

Nice largie. Has been too hot lately and the mosquitos are voracious. Looking forward to fall but not what comes after

Nice half cent bud. I haven’t been out at all between the heat and foliage myself. You’ll be onto some new sites soon I’m sure. Good luck
