REAL COINS VS FANTASIES

Ginger Rapsus writes: "How about the sale of the 1804 $10
gold coin, a coin in the same league as the 1804 dollar and
the 1913 Liberty nickel...not only because of their million-
dollar price tags, but also because they were not really
coins made for circulation?  One of my favorite coins in
the U.S. series is the 1802 half dime.  It's a real coin,
struck to do what a coin does, circulate as money.  Last
year I wrote an article for The Numismatic Sun on this coin."
