ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 01/28/2026 12:58 pm IMHO, this coin is overgraded ... I see a VF-20 obverse with a F-12 reverse. I thus see a net Fine-15. Also, it looks like a details coin, having scrubbed surfaces. Check the gray sheet for comparative values and auction sites as well to see comps. Are you looking at this coin for type, to add to a date set or what? Edited by ExoGuy 01/28/2026 1:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 01/28/2026 1:43 pm I agree with @ExoGuy. The coins is overgraded, especially the reverse. In my opinion it also shows too much chatter and imperfections. I have the same coin. I believe mine is a VF35. Report this Post to the Staff

ArrowsAndRays Pillar of the Community United States 1653 Posts	Posted 01/28/2026 4:48 pm Good that you passed. Over graded, over priced. Unless you're looking for that specific date/mm you can find much nicer examples of Seated half dimes for hundreds less. Report this Post to the Staff
