Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 03/06/2010 10:54 pm That's a great coin and seems to have retained full mint luster. I can't see any significant wear in any of the highest points. Looks MS to me. At the very least, a high AU. Aren't those coins fun to photograph? I know...I just spent a whole bunch of time on my 1829, and while I got decent photos, the coin still looks better in hand. Understanding that....also plays into my assessment of grade. I'd be willing to bet that this coin also looks even better "in the flesh". Chance Report this Post to the Staff

AMFCook Valued Member United States 312 Posts	Posted 03/15/2010 2:03 pm This coin screams MS-63. More than half of the highly attractive mint luster, tiny blemishes. Excellent coin. Report this Post to the Staff
cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 03/15/2010 2:24 pm I think it's MS-63, very nice coin. This is not a "no stars" version which has to do with the 13 stars on obv. whether they are present or not. Great Head Detail. Looks Original. Very Nice. Report this Post to the Staff
steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 03/15/2010 3:18 pm Beaut! I know next to nothing about these things...but they are small coins. Those marks on the coin are TINY. MS64 or 65. Report this Post to the Staff
coins92 Pillar of the Community United States 851 Posts	Posted 03/15/2010 10:41 pm Does the full head detail on Half Dimes apply to the value in the same manner with SLQ's or Mercury Dimes(Bands)? Report this Post to the Staff
