    1831 PCGS AU58. V-2, LM-3, R.4. From Mike Printz at HJB.

  • rheddenrhedden Posts: 6,567 ✭✭✭✭✭

    1836, unattributed (meaning I forgot the attribution, so it's not a rare one :)). Raw AU.

  • rheddenrhedden Posts: 6,567 ✭✭✭✭✭

    1837 Small 5c, a tough Red Book variety. Just try to locate a nice one in XF or higher.

  • rheddenrhedden Posts: 6,567 ✭✭✭✭✭

    1833 LM-6, R.6. It's been cleaned ages ago, but we can forgive it due to the R.6 rating.

  • rheddenrhedden Posts: 6,567 ✭✭✭✭✭

    1837 Small Date, great album toning, though likely dipped decades ago.

  • rheddenrhedden Posts: 6,567 ✭✭✭✭✭

    More of the same, but this time, PCGS AU58 in an older blue label holder. This coin has great navy blue toning on the obverse in person.

    PCGS AU50, blue label. Toning is secondary, but not bad looking.

    PCGS MS66, blue label. Submitted once (by me) before CAC existed. Maybe an MS67 to some people? The most lustrous, well-struck half dime in my entire collection, it is also an early die state with the faint crack at 3:30 on the reverse. According to an old auction catalogue I perused, the reverse die was allegedly replaced with a new one after 100 coins were struck, and the first 100 coins are identified by the reverse die crack. Mr. HalfDime could possibly tell us whether this story is fact or fiction, should he stumble upon this monstrous thread filled with half dimes. ;)

    New pics added 2/25/2018, now that I have a macro lens.

    This 1873-s is the best toner half dime I have ever owned. Why, oh why, did I not get a TruView when I sent it in? PCGS MS65, old holder, and destined for a regrade. For now, please enjoy my blurry obverse pic, use your imagination, and consider the image as "impressionist artwork."

    New macro lens pics February 2018:

    Wow, Rich posted some monster early H10c. It's not every day you see an 1802 H10c, nor either of the 1800 varieties posted! I wonder how many people are still actively collecting the 1794-1805 early H10c by die marriage?

    My only half dimes. These were given to me and make me happy.
    Some darn nice half dimes in this thread!

    That's a cool variety Lance! Most, myself included, would have overlooked the tri-stripe shield.

    that is one of the clearer (EDS) overdates! I believe mrhalfdime and cpthenway cleared this matter up with a nice EDS example (probably similar to yours)

    Nice 1849 V-2 EDS! There should be a network of die cracks on the reverse.
    I call this variety "9 over far 6".
    Compare with the V-4, which is "9 over near 6" - the lower loop of the 6 is not as far to the right on the V-4.

    In the Bust Dimes the triple stripe is more common than the 2 stripes variety.

    The 3 stripe half dimes (LM-1, 2, 3) are fairly common also (R-2, 1, 2).
    So are many of the 2 stripe 1829 half dimes.

    Here's a colorful half dime that is coming up for sale in my half dime sale at the 2017 ANA. If you have a copy of the Logan-McCloskey half dime book it is a color photo of the plate coin for the 1829 LM-15.2 remarriage in the book on page 162. This coin was from the Russell Logan Collection which was sold by Bowers & Merena Galleries in November 2002:1725 where is was raw and called AU-58. You can see this coin "in person" and others at my Table 435.

    WDP, are you sure that is a half dime, and not a dime, like perhaps a JR-5? I have never seen or even heard of such an obverse cud in the 1834 half dimes. Cool to be sure, but perhaps out of place in a half dime thread.

    @MrHalfDime, your sharp today as usual. My mistake. Photo was labeled incorrectly in my files!

    Nice cud anyway?
