    Hello, everyone.

    I responded to the post "Do You Collect Half Dimes" but I didn't realize that my "copy/post" efforts from my Heritage Coin Inventory made it on here. I apologize for not deleting the unnecessary details that Heritate includes in their online inventory option that I use. I am editing now. Anyway, here is the edited version of my half-dime section in my U.S. type set. I see that I neglected to include an LM number for the 1795 so when I have a chance to hit the bank, I'll see if I can figure it out (again) and notate the number. I guess I got too excited about the R-6 part! :p

    Only for type. Seated Liberty is my favorite.

    Yup! It's one of my favorite series to collect. This 1867-S is a recent pickup. The coin is bent and would receive a details grade which I don't mind, I was thrilled to find an example of the date.

    Your 67-S looks a lot like mine! This is my only half dime of the 1863-67 stretch:


    "You can't get just one gun." "You can't get just one tattoo." "You can't get just one 1796 Draped Bust Large Cent."

    Old thread, but here’s most of my half dimes

    Yep the clashing on the '54 is spectacular. Is that the V1 high date?

    Thanks, I don’t think it is the V1 high date, here’s a magnified image

    Nice '49/6. When I saw you posted it I immediately recognized the similar toning I have on my '48 medium date, turns out they are likely from the same former set, three serial numbers apart. This coin looks quite good in hand.

    I agree with @Mr_Spud - the V-1 high date overlaps the base (see above).

    1854 Philadelphia is probably the most difficult seated half dime date to attribute by die pair.
    All the obverses except the V-1 have the same date and arrows position, as they were on the hub.
    And there is no mint mark position.
    Many of the 1854 coins are clashed, but the clash positions are somewhat similar, and the mintage is fairly high.
    I have identified about 17 die pairs so far.
