Breen 3089 Half Dime ?

I recently submitted some coins to ANACS and when I called to find out the results I was told that the half dime that I had sent in for attribution was a Breen 3089. I am familiar with Breen 3090 and Breen 3091 but not 3089. Does anyone have any info on the Breen 3089?


Thanks,


Robert

    1858 from a heavily lapped die, that removed part of the pole.
    Breen says it's rare.
    That ain't the only thing Breen was wrong about.
    It's somewhat scarce, but certainly not rare, and you won't get a premium for it.

    Thanks Ray! I bought the coin awhile back for $20 raw. I was sending some coins in to ANACS anyway so I sent it along too. It came back VF35 Breen 3089. I don't have any books on Seated Coins yet but I will. I am starting to like the Seated series of coins. A lot of them have very low mintages with prices that seem oh so cheap compared to 20th century coins with comparable mintages.

    Once Again thanks Ray!
