@The_Dinosaur_Man. Those are some beautiful Seated Liberties. Nice.

Nice, Mr Spud.

Here's one that belongs to a friend:

And another scratched up coin from archives - 1856 O Half Dime

FYI, I can tell from the obverse clash pattern and uphill date that your half dime is 1856-O V-10a (R-5).
If you are curious, there is an 1856-O attribution guide at:

Thank you.

I did not want to send it in for grading because of the black spots and a few minute scratches on the obverse.

yosclimber

Right, it would not make sense to have it slabbed, due to the scratches.
I do find the clash pattern interesting, though.

Had picked them up cheap long time ago.

Looks like a little PVC on both sides of the 1854 that you might want to remove with acetone or similar.

Thank you.
Am a total sucker for those fancy packaged stuff (pics attached) and pick it up whenever I see it.
Perhaps in the century and a half journey, it would have probably come in contact with PVC somewhere sometime at some point.
Will definitely give it an acetone soak whenever I can lay my hands on it.

This is a V-2, based on the date position slightly right and "file marks" at the dentils from the toe to S11,
and the reverse with no cracks.

Here's one that slipped under the lens, PC65:

Cool reverse die cracks identify this as F-107a.

@yosclimber... the one I showed earlier has an earlier version / not as pronounced reverse crack so the die marriage may seem interesting here (note the CC location doesn't seem to match Vern's 107a).

EDIT: Reverse B or I for mintmark location. I don't have experience with attributing Seated Dimes. yos... what do you think? A bit like 113 but no Obverse 9 date die crack paired to Reverse I.
http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/date_mintmark/1875cciwvarpage.htm

yosclimber

Yeah, I think it's F-113 or F-113a.
I agree the mintmark location is a match to reverse B or I,
and the reverse die crack from K9-K7 is a match to the one shown for F-113a.
The obverse date position is a match,
and the obverse crack through the date is very light, so it might not be visible with the toning.

Based on the reverse die cracks and the date position, I believe your 1887-s dime is F-111:

I believe this one witnessed daily useage. If it could only talk.

Usually I try to state the die variety of any half dime posted here, but with 1853 it's difficult.
Yours is one of over half the obverse dies with the date and arrows on the hub (and pointed flag 5),
so the date position is identical and does not help much to identify the die!

@bearcave Do you have a reverse image?

Here's pics of a quarter and twenty cents from the archives. Had housed them in the Dansco 7070 and rotated them out with sightly better examples.
And as Jesbroken mentioned, the tales these circulated coins could tell would be extremely interesting if they could talk.

1875-S Double Dime... found this image, just want to move the thread...

I was trying to compare it to mine:

Barberian

Here's a P45 that became a P40 after the USPS crushed the PCGS holder. The coin did not suffer any damage whatsoever. Not a single mark. I feel it's properly graded now as a strong P40. CAC green beaned it at both grades.

Apologies in advance to the traditionalists on this thread. I was just thinking "what would Liberty look like if she stood up?"

I came up with this... (a Swiss piece purchased yesterday):

Looks like F-106, based on the date position and repunched star 8.
Could be F-106a if it has normal reverse die alignment.

Been on such a posting frenzy lately that am completely clueless as to what has been put up before and am hoping this 1853 half with arrows and rays is not a repeat post.

@yosclimber said “Looks like F-106, based on the date position and repunched star 8.

Thanks, the reverse is rotated so that makes it the F-106 🌞

This Civil War era quarter (PCGS AU58) is a nice upgrade to a PCGS VF35 that was formerly the best example of the date in my collection.

I noticed a disturbing trend in my P-mint quarters from this era:

1862 PCGS XF40
1863 PCGS AU50
1864 PCGS AU55
1865 PCGS AU58
1866 PCGS MS64 CAC

They're gradually heading for MS70 as they approach 1870. Now what am I going to do with the 1867?

barberkeys

Ron, perhaps start the progression over again. Nice 1865.

This one recently made it back from our hosts, P53:
