@MtnCreek29 , good looking half dime. Looks to be an LM2, somewhat early die state. Not super early as the big obverse die crack is visible but lots of the other degradations on both dies have yet to appear on your example.
Not sure if there are any 70 or 70pl but this is 2 grades higher than any I have 67PL is it. Fdoi and 69pl fairly upper crust for me 😁
And the price was definitely a cherry pick. I have 67PL that I paid a lot more for 🙀

How about this! Manual last second bid (no sniper program just arthritic 70 year old fingers) and did very well indeed 😁
What you guys think. Stretched the budget but had a feeling I could grab this one as the highest bidder was fairly new (54 purchases) and confident in the early hour and had a higher bid ready, but my largest stretch was a couple bucks more. I win.

Mine has a lower number, 69 of 440.
Beautiful coin!
Maybe we should start a thread on these?
Nice Joey. Do you have the rest of the set? The one I sniped was posted with the dollar coin and the reverse proof in different listings but very close ending times. I watched the Rpf go for $40 and the dollar went for $39.90 ish. Both in FR 70. The proof is usually the tricky one to get at a bargain. But $31 is really an amazing price.
Kinda cool that we have coins from the same numerical series. Little jealous yours is a lower number 😁

I’m sure PCGS would label it as “improperly annealed” or something similar if submitted under the error tier. Calling it a “black beauty” is just a gimmick. And I would add that calling it an “improper alloy mix”, as ANACS has done, is misleading, as it would imply an incorrect alloy prior to rolling/blanking, whereas this nickel likely had a properly “mixed” alloy at that stage of production.
A nice circulated commemorative I picked up the other day at a coin show

A nice addition to my everyman 19th-century typeset with gold came in today. Too bad these diminutive coins don't move the needle on rank.

Yours is a particularly nice one.

@GoldenEgg I like the "Black Beauty" it may be a gimmick, but it got me. It's my second one, the other is MS64. Got me twice, shame on you ANACS!
