    @Copperindian that is a beast of a coin! Especially with CAC!

    That is a “wow!” coin in my book. Really nice…

    Looks like the top of another 8 coming out of the denticles.

    This was a quick buy when I saw it! I suspect it might be cleaned, but details are very strong on this. Can anyone tell me why I bought it?

    Yep….weakness all over the right side (both obverse and reverse) of the coin is typical for this issue. Pretty sure this is going to be a weak 1858/7. Not bad for just over $100. Looks AU details to me, maybe XF.

    Pocket change.
    In hand I came across this dime's date's image showing a clear 4 under (2) 018. It just jumped out at me without a glass. Using a micro camera, for a better view, brought out some other questions of the photo's image. Mainly the number 4 over a half broken number 2 in a perfect combo.
    Using a 1984 dated dime's number 4, I fooled around with (one photo only), what could be, an under strike in the exact position. (?) In hand ? It's a 4018.
    The coin shows a greenish woody effect, although, not in a delicate fashion.
    Please don't clutter this thread with any nonsense you may feel is warranted. You will get a chance.

    @MEJ7070 , nice half dime for your type set sir. I'm raw dogging my attribution here as I don't have my book handy where I'm at right now but I believe your coin is the LM6 die marriage. I want to say the LM book rates that as an R5 rarity but the most recent JRCS half dime census has downgraded it to an R4. Others can chime in and correct me if I'm getting any of that wrong. Any way you cut it, sweet coin man. Nice eye appeal factor to it as well.

    Thanks very much! I purchased it online believing it to be an LM6 as well, but for states and marriages aren’t strong areas of expertise for me tbh. The determining factor in buying this coin was the color/eye appeal. I’m not in the habit of making many raw coin purchases on eBay, but was happy to “take a shot” on this one!

    Currently at our hosts now.

    I bought an original cardboard case for my 1937 matte set. It's all in PCGS plastic, but I can Photoshop the coin pics into it so I can enjoy its original presentation.

    Ok, that’s very cool.

    Very Nice
