HALF DIME - FLOWING HAIR TYPE 1794-1795 PHILADELPIA MINT - PROBABLY COINED AFTER FEBRUARY 1795 BUT A FEW MAY HAVE 1794 DATES. MY GUESS ON DATE IS 1795.

NO DENOMINATION INDICATED ON THE COIN

Nice work Glenn!

This is indeed a 1795 50c - actually the O-102a subvariety. This coin is interesting in that the die crack alone can be used to completely identify the coin.

Thanks for everyone's participation!

is that sign for real or is that a joke?

Yeah, couldn't be a Half-Dime, as the wings on Half-Dimes extend further into the letters...

I received the catalogs today. They are fantastic, and they look new!
Thank you very much.
