I took a little time to check out Harlan Berk last week and found this awesome 1845 half dime. It is an 1845/1845. it looks much better in person. I'm still working on my photography skills. It's just a tad off focus too.

    Seated Liberty Half Dimes are cool and yours looks very nice. It looks original to me.

    Congratulations!

    Yep, very original. Its graded by NGC. I felt they were a bit tough on the grade. It could easily go up one grade. I won't state grade letting those of you who wish to guess the grade....

    Nope. That's probably due to the compression of the file. I need to get better file hosting set up. I just changed DSL providers and maybe I can figure it out.

    It looks like she's been sitting in an album for a long time.

    I have two of this date. One in MS64 and another in MS61. Yours looks much better.
    Both of mine had doubling on 45, but I forgot if they also had doubling on 18 or not

    This one is a NGC63. I think this could easily go to a 64. There are a few nicks on the right obverse but I have much worse in 63 holders.
