Another thread on half dimes with lots of insightful information from some knowledgeable forum members inspired me to look at some of my dimes and half dimes, posted here. Some of these hadn’t been out of my 7070 in ~30 years:

Small stars dime:

No stars half dime:

A true small stars half dime, with all the requisite attributes for a V1, as I learned from the experts.

I used to think this was a 9 over 8, but it's just a repunched 9/9:

The twins, actually look much more alike in hand (a pair of blueberry dimes), but they are different die varieties, as there are differences in the stars that can be seen under high mag:

    Stunning coins, Bill - thanks for posting them!

    Interesting about the observation between the No stars dimes and half dimes.
    I used to own a rainbow toner half dime in AU, but it was strictly for stock and it sold very quickly. I don't recall ever owning a dime.

    I had totally forgotten about this thread, I don’t even own the no stars HD anymore. Someone on the forum does though.

    Apologies to @Walkerguy21D for once again resurrecting his thread from 6 years ago. It's nice that there are still old threads that have retained their pictures and I missed this thread back then. I'd like to add my seated dimes to this thread as my contribution. Hopefully, new readers will also continue the theme!

    Large and small stars; very old stars (over 11 billion years old) in this globular cluster. And some stars from inside our own galaxy in the mix.

    How about 11 stars? This is the 1836 LM-1.2 capped bust half dime. The reverse cud causes stars 3 and 4 to almost disappear.

    That's a nice V-10 with the crack to the forehead and down into the body, and a low O reverse.

    I think it’s a little under graded, but who knows.
