It's appealing because you almost never see it.

VF-20, looks very nice, and you might want to consider sending that to CAC or PQ, because it has OUTSTANDING eye appeal, IMHO!

for the sake of a rarely seen type, here is my PCGS AU53 Large Date. This is a die state of the F-101a with the 23 degree reverse and when they continued the original proof die into the business strikes. This die would eventually degenerate into the pie cracked obverse, F-101c and very difficult to locate. You can see the start of the die crack into Liberty's foot. I always wanted a small date hence the recent acquisition.   Edited by dsfreeworld

and my Half Dime version with the mysterious yet-to-be-solved reverse. Mint error? look at the Cud on the (A)MERICA I have no idea but the coin is UNC and all original.   Edited by dsfreeworld

I would contend the VF details that remain in the drapery and face keep this in VF despite the worn letters in Liberty's shield. It's a beautiful coin :) Nice find!

I'm at VF25 on this one. DSFreeWorld - that is one weird looking Half Dime. The scratches on the reverse are surely PMD but I'm a bit stumped on what happened to the reverse. Strange.

I am thinking VF-20, possibly 25.

I have always contended that it was either a mint error or if PMD, someone heated something up and began to melt away at the reverse to perhaps mount a clip of some sort and turn it into a pin or a cuff link. Either way, the coin has never seen circulation and its an oddity. I don't believe I paid more than $60 for it years ago. |

The shield is strictly a product of weak strike. CAC agreed that it was a choice VF20. thanks for all the looks and guesses   |

That's a sweet No Stars dime at VF20. Nice surfaces and excellent eye appeal, to my eyes at least!  |
