CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 06/04/2026 3:07 pm CAC - This coin is especially challenging as heavily circulated coins of this era are expected to show much more wear and tear. It is unusual for a coin, especially of this size, to remain problem-free. This piece once received a great strike, as everything important is still visible and sharp around the devices. This piece is graded CAC G6. Check out Draped Bust Dimes on ebay Check out Draped Bust Dimes on ebay Check out Books on US Coins on Amazon Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3347 Posts	Posted 06/06/2026 3:40 pm I wonder if CAC would sticker the 15 star Half Dime on my keyring? The hole would probably get details....I'll leave it on the keyring.... "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

Sap Moderator Australia 16876 Posts	Posted 06/07/2026 6:35 pm What impresses me most about this coin is that, for the 200 years or so of its existence, nobody ever thought "this coin looks dirty, I think it'll look much better if I clean it up a bit". I also note the scratches on both sides which, on a different coin, might have caused it to be classed as ungradable due to graffiti. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
