Another type acquired. 1795. What kind of bird is on the reverse? Not a good rendering of an Eagle in my opinion. ElmerFlick   Edited by ElmerFlick

Young country at the time, so young eagle.  |

Not a good rendering of an Eagle in my opinion. the scrawny chicken is my favorite bald eagle representation. its so majestic. you can see why they were debating between it and the turkey for the national bird.  |

Nice 1795 - I can't decide if it's a VG10 or a F12. Either way it's a beauty with no damage just old honest wear. I'm leaning more towards the VG8/10 range as the obverse is pretty weak in strike around the stars and rim, but overall a really cool Half Dime.

Just grabbed this one. The price guides don't do the difficulty justice. Now I only need one more to finish the collectible circulation strike portion of the set! ElmerFlick   Edited by ElmerFlick

ElmerFlick, is that the transitional reverse?

I think the transitional reverse is only on the 1840-O without drapery.

Moving along with the Seated dime set. Down to the final 14. The 1860-o is by far the toughest New Orleans dime. ElmerFlick  |
