Liberty Seated Half Dimes

I just got back into collecting seated half dimes. I have the Valentine and Blythe books. Found the Flynn book and the website with the Crane collection. Are there any other references out there?

Yes.
I have separate PDFs for 30 of the 67 date x mint marks on my web page:

Each variety or major die state has a separate page with plate photos, attribution markers, and a roster of the top 10+ known examples with their auction histories.

There is also a "Top 100" varieties list.
Currently working on the 1857-O guide.

Looks really nice. I may go out see what can find (half dime) don’t have one.

I have started taking pictures of my half dimes. 1843 RPD XF45 A.jpg

Nice coin and photo.
But which 1843 RPD? V-6, V-9, or V-10?

norm_coinman · February 16, 2026 11:57AM

I think it is a V-6.

yosclimber · February 16, 2026 12:29PM

Yes, V-6.
A very clear RPD.
It's also #34 in the "Top 100" varieties list.
