    No, my 1795 half dime is 7 points below that one.

    "No, my 1795 half dime is 7 points below that one."

    Still a very respectable coin, but the coin posted by the OP is a 1794, generically a rarer and more valuable coin in all grades. That's as nice a Flowing Hair half dime as I have ever seen. Wow! Oh, and it's not mine.

    Fun thread. What a cool coin. It's pretty tough to find earlier federal issues. My very pedestrian example of the 94 half dime should arrive sometime next week. imageimage

    Opps!
    My 1794 half dime is 15 points below that one, although it might grade higher if it were to re-submitted today.

    Don't know whose coin it is. But it has an interesting

    history.



    It now is in a PCGS MS-65 slab 38582.65/33520480

    and PCGS lists it as V-2, LM-2 R.5 H10c.



    In April 2015 it sold at HA as a V-2, LM-2 R.5

    in a PCGS MS-65 slab 4250.65/16399266

    for $56,400.



    In March 2011 it sold at HA as a V-1, LM-1 R.6

    in a PCGS MS-65 slab 4250.65/16399266

    for $63.250.



    In July 2005 it sold at HA as a V-1, LM-1 R.6

    in a PCGS MS-65 slab, but no number shown,

    for $69,000 in lot #10145.



    It is a beautiful & desireable coin. The image now

    associated with it does not represent the coin very

    well, as the real look of the coin is somewhat dark

    and a bit drab, but still a very sought after piece.

    Thanks for hunting down the history, good job!

    I was afraid these might be fantasy photos.

    I hope these photos aren't as fantasy as the

    1894-S dime that just sold. Do you have a link

    to any slab photos of the coin? Thanks.

    That's a killer strike, but I actually like the look of Bill's better.

    It just looks like an 18th century should look.

    Boy, if it's the same coin that LoveMyLiberty posted a photo of, I've learned my lesson.
    I imagine the photo in the first post must have been shot through gamma rays.....

    Many photos seem to have their contrast (or perhaps other attributes) cranked up to better show whatever attributes is necessary for that particular display. That is why making purchasing decisions based on images alone is not a recommended approach.

    How does one get a hater to stop hating?

    Here is an example of how the angle of the photo can change everything. Both of these sets of pictures are of the same coin, and both are accurate depending upon the angle you view the coin in person.

    Ahh so what?

    WOW!

    The coin is Proof, and NGC graded PR-66.

    It still looks like a 65 in either photo. I'm guessing someone tried to upgrade it. Bill's coin does have a slightly better strike, and looks undergraded as well. I wish all my 50s looked like that.

    I bought that 1794 half dime back in the early 1990s. It was originally in a green label PCGS holder, but I had it re-holdered because the reverse of the slab was scratched. If I had known then what I know now about headlight polish and slabs, it would still be in the OGH. (Old Green Holder)

    From what I've seen recently, the AU-50 grade has been "grade-flated." What used to be EF-40 or 45 is now AU-50. You need to buy at least an AU-53 to get a AU-50.

    Interesting contrast in photography Bill.... adds to the reasons it is so hard to grade from

    pictures...Cheers, RickO
