akdrv Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 It turns out a half dime can be worth a pretty penny. At least when it's a really, really old "half dime" - one that was minted in the late 1700s. In fact, the Sunnyvale-based Cardinal Collection Educational Foundation shelled out $1.5 million for the coveted coin. The 215-year-old half dime, known in George Washington's time as a half disme (pronounced DEEM in that founding-of-the-country English spoken at the time of its circulation), is considered to be in near perfect condition, the foundation's director Martin Logies said. http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_6306439 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
