I'm wavering between F15 and VF20. Love this No Stars issue.

F-15
However, a very good candidate for VF-20.

F-15
I think this is the small date based on the shape of the 1.

VF-20
It always looks like something is off whenever I see these. Yours looks great!

Love this No Stars issue. Me too. I've been looking for one of these myself. This is the way that Gobrecht intended the design to be. Quote:

This is a link to the Liberty Seated Collectors Club: http://www.lsccweb.org/I had the opportunity to sit in on the inaugural LSCC/BCCS kick-off co-meeting* at the Manchester Coin Show back in 2011. The "large/small' date 1837 was discussed. I came away with the information that the SIZE of the '1' is not at issue. Rather, the 'shape' of the initial stroke was the key: - or / . Is that your understanding, MeadowviewCollector? I bought my example that day and later bought an 1838 with stars for comparison. Boy, Half Dimes are TINY! --- * The regional outreach meeting to bring our resources to those who cannot go to the national shows. Edited by matthewvincent

Yes, I didn't do a very good job of clarifying that. Here's a PCGS showing the difference http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/D...4311?redir=t Edited by MeadowviewCollector

Thanks MeadowviewCollector, that's it!
The one that I bought was incorrectly identified as a large date.
The speaker from the Seated Liberty group caught the mistake for me.
The pictures show the difference clearly.
