BUST HALF DIMES

We recently acquired a 1792 half disme, two 1797 13 star half dimes, and some nice higher rarity and/or high-grade Capped Bust half dimes incl. two R-7s and four R-6s.  Also listed below are some great half dimes for those looking to spend $100 or $200 or less per coin.  In fact, there are over 25 half dimes priced at $100 or less.  We also have a few half dimes pedigreed to the collection of the late D. Mark Smith to whom the Federal Half Dimes 1792 - 1837 book was dedicated.  Wanted:  1792, 1796/5, 1797 13 stars, 1802, and any R-6 or better varieties.
