Finally..... These come up far and few between. I've been waiting a long time for a nice circulated one that fits my budget to come along.

These are the lowest mintage for the Liberty Seated Half Dime series at only 8,000.

GTG if you like.... It's in a PCGS holder.

UPDATE: PCGS VG10

Seems we have a good consensus here with VG10.

I agree with those who say it goes to 11. To me, in hand it looks like it just misses 12, probably due to the lettering being worn just enough that it misses by a hair.

Thanks to all for the compliments and playing GTG!

    I'd go with F-12. A really rare coin. And a definite business strike, as shown by the diagnostic die crack through the second S in STATES.

    I'd think VG10 and it looks like honest circulation wear and no major distractions.

    VG11 as Baley said. It probably has the value of essentially a Fine 12.

    I didn't enter a guess. The coin does not have a full LIBERTY, but that doesn't mean too much in the world of certified grading these days, so it could have been graded Fine. It's a very nice coin for the VG10 grade!

    I'd rather have this coin than a full liberty fine 15 with less original surface dirt. Very well bought rare coin as a 10.
