  I kind of like it actually. Full date with a lot of detail.
  Sure, it's damaged, but I'd rather have that kind of damage than a harsh/scratchy cleaning.
  
  Just looked it up, and dang!
  Those are pricey little buggers, no?
  $1,500 asking price. . .

  i'm beginning to think coins like these are:
  
  
  
  coin vs farm equip.

  Thinking out loud: Would you rather own the above coin or a problem free FA02 with very little if any detail?

  It could have been buried for a 200 years until a giant farm tiller brought it back up to life?
  
  I think I would rather have this coin than a disc with all of the details worn off.

  First thing that came to mind...a little kid with a magnifying glass and an ant hill.
  
  
  
  Someone being destructive many moons ago; Suzy left me and took everything except this half dime and a hammer...she won't be getting them or me when she comes back...i'll show her.

  On coins of this type, damaged surfaces don't bother me.

  I agree with what John stated above. I could live with it.

  For Braddick: I'd much rather have the above coin than a slick FA02.

  A coin from that period in our history... I would be happy with one in that condition...
  
  Cheers, RickO
