    My only seated coin at the moment. I have a thing for any 1883 coins as its 100 years from my birthyear of 1983. This ony has a little weakness in the hair but I love the eye appeal.




    Nice dime! I’m also fond of coins from 1884 for the same reason as you since I was born in 1984. I’m working on a proof set from this year and finding nicely toned proofs is proving to be a challenge!

    I decided to only collect AU and higher Seated halves, but broke my own rules. Actually, my coin addiction did the buying and I was only along for the ride. PCGS XF45

    Oh, and I bought this coin raw just because I liked it. No hairlines and looks AU58. This one won't ever see a plastic holder on my watch.

    I was just wondering if you showed it because there is a rare die marriage for that year per the late MrHalfdime.
    TY

    @Realone I must say I have no idea if it's a rare die marriage for that year.
    I'll have to investigate it.

    This coin has very strong clashing, and @MrHalfDime wrote in 2013 (for a similar coin):

    The 1854 half dime that you cited is ...
    somewhat typical of many examples for this date. Severe clashing, even worse than
    exhibited on your example, is not unusual.

    Because of the ambiguity of the Valentine variety
    descriptions, it is always difficult, and sometimes impossible, to attribute
    die marriages for the mid and later dates of Liberty Seated half dimes. Dr. Valentine
    describes just six (6) die marriages for the 1854 date, but provides photographic
    plates of both obverse and reverse for only V1, V2, and V3; there are no plates
    for V5, and his V4 and V6 are represented by only one side each.

    @MrHalfDime had 37 coins for 1854 in his reference collection, of which he attributed
    8 to V-1 to V-4a,
    10 to 3 new varieties (that were not published, but he described one with a shattered reverse in his forum post,
    and another had a MPD 8 in the dentils below 5 of which @Realone has a nice example), and
    19 were unattributed (several had various die rotations, which he liked to study).

    It appears that many of the 1854 dies had the date in the hub, which means the date position does not help
    distinguish between those dies.
    So possibly when I write the 1854 attribution guide, a lot of it will be based on different clash patterns,
    which can identify different die states, but clashing does not usually strictly identify different dies.
    And with all the varying rotations in 1854, the same dies could produce several different clashes,
    so that method could fail.

    Yes, the 1853 half dimes often have deep clashes like the 1854.
    I guess the Philadelphia mint was so busy striking those 13 million 1853 half dimes that they weren't that concerned about clash marks?
