Here is a 1848 (medium date) Half Dime that is in pretty rough shape:

Yes hard livin' on that one. My inferior picture-taking skills don't do these coins any favors, but clearly this one was quite worn when it was defaced.
Now that I look at it a little more closely, that last digit in the date looks a bit more like a 9 than an 8. Maybe I have the date mislabeled. Thoughts anyone?

The miniaturization is what I like about them too. I don't care for dimes much, but Half Dimes (and Spanish 1/2 reales) are another story.
