Variety enthusiasts in both copper and silver will enjoy The Loma Linda Collection, one of the featured collections in Heritage Auctions FUN US Coins auction. This collection will be offered January 3-8 at the Florida United Numismatists convention in Tampa and online at www.HA.com.

R.5, R.6, R.7, and even R.8 rarity ratings accompany many of the half dollars. Several R.5, R.6, and even R.7 large cents add an extra layer of interest for copper specialists.
