Nice example of the V-3 and V-4 (V-3a) die marriage, with reverse die crack at the right edge of R and medium O.
I saved your photo of this coin with the old camera and green dot from 4 years ago!
Looking much nicer with the new camera.

Welcome to the forum. Very nice dime.

2windy2fish · December 21, 2020 7:03PM

Thank you!
I have nothing to complain about but....how i wish the obverse matched the reverse!

yosclimber · December 21, 2020 7:23PM

The reverse is indeed quite beautiful, but the obverse is very nice also.
Looks like F-103, with small obv rim cuds and some obv die rust.

Recently discovered in an almost 50 year collection after review earlier today. Here is a '71 Seated dollar:

Also in there was this '77-S Trade dollar:

Mostly Morgan dollars but it was nice to see those beauties in the mix.

yosclimber - Thanks on the 1841-O half dime from above. I'm no specialist when it comes to die pairings and varieties. Vern's new camera definitely takes great pix. Nice that you kept the old image though!

Here's another recently CAC'd half dime. (Proudly, I went 9 for 9.) This one is XF-40.

yosclimber · December 27, 2020 8:05PM

Your 1839-o is the classic V-2B die marriage,
with repunched 1 and 9 south, and the shattered reverse with several die cracks.
The die cracks are small on your coin - must be an early die state.
I can see them going through the first T in STATES and the O of OF.

Usually the cracks are more prominent, like this one.

V-2B is not rare, but it is pretty interesting - you get a very visible RPD and shattered reverse on the same coin.
It is #12 in the "Top 100" Seated Half Dime varieties list that we made this year.

I collect chopmarked crowns by type as an evolution of my original chopmarked Trade Dollar date/variety set, and finally found one of the most interesting and historic chopmarked coins I've been searching for: an 1859-S Seated Dollar. Minted at the request of West Coast merchants attempting to bypass the premium that they had to pay for Mexican 8 Reales to effectively trade in China, sources claim that 15,000 of the 20,000 minted were sent to the Far East for the purpose of trade. They were largely unsuccessful, and what other Seated Dollars that made their way across the Pacific were largely incidental; the Trade Dollar would see their purpose revived, but the 1859-S Dollar remains one of the earliest US coins struck for use in foreign trade.

I know of four chopmarked examples of this date in total, including one that has remained out of the public eye since it was sold as part of the Hal Walls collection in 1997. This example turned up without much fanfare on eBay a few weeks ago, recently slabbed as part of a large collection of early dollars obtained as a group by a single dealer. Unfortunately holed and scratched, but with two verifiable chops and a lot of history.

That is so cool

50 year collection... mentioned before... today was day 2. Here is a '73 with Arrows Seated half dollar. There was also an 1834 Bust Half but this thread is for Seated.

sedulous · December 28, 2020 10:47PM

Here are some more Seated found in the 50 year collection... the first is a '75-S dime:

A '75-S Double Dime:

Also a more common '53 Arrows and Rays:

Also, more Morgan's were discovered today including original '84-P and '85-P BU rolls, an '86-S/S, and what I believe to be a previously undisclosed '88-S/S as well. A 'Day 3' collection appraisal review is being planned for mid-January.

Yosclimber-Thanks again for the good info on the 1839-O half dime. I appreciate the effort. I'm usually just hunting for coins with the right look for me, but paying attention to die marriages and varieties needs to be my next step.

Fot tonight, an 1849 dime with a good look except for that boo-boo.

paesan · January 1, 2021 3:32PM

Another raw dime in VG...
Happy New Year!!!

paesan · January 2, 2021 4:02PM

For this evening, a common date half dollar....

P40. My very first seated quarter bought raw off of ebay in 2007 for $39. Listed with obverse pic. only. Note the die chip below Liberty's ear; die pair 2-C.

That's a toughie, John. Especially CAC'd! Nice!

Here's another tough coin. Sadly it got Brilloed.

fastfreddie · January 16, 2021 7:15PM

Lennie I thought that was a Philly... I can see the weak S on second glance. Either way tough. Too bad for the abuse.
