BH1964 Pillar of the Community United States 9564 Posts	Posted 07/18/2020 10:51 am There is no mintmark there. There one known 1870-S half dime and it's a multi-million dollar coin. 1870 half dimes are a common coin. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Doodatt New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/18/2020 2:13 pm That was taken with my phone. This is a 1870s. They used a 6 set die at that time on the press that means it would stamp 6 coins at one time. And the metal came in sheets it stands to reason that if one was may it could have been 6. They would not have tried to stamp 1 coin Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 54762 Posts	Posted 07/18/2020 2:28 pm This is certainly not an 1870-S. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
keith12 Pillar of the Community United States 2902 Posts	Posted 07/18/2020 2:28 pm I think the S you are seeing would be to small https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...-s-h10c/4397 That being said only one way to find out. send it in Report this Post to the Staff
Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 987 Posts	Posted 07/18/2020 2:34 pm Not a chance. Even a weakly struck mint mark would show tell tale signs by darkening around it like that of the devices/lettering.

Doodatt New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/18/2020 4:14 pm The problem is that no one wants to believe that there is a 1870s other than the one known. That one was impossible until 1978.i got this one at a gas station in change. Look at the s of that period. But can you say that u cant see a S Report this Post to the Staff
Doodatt New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/18/2020 4:21 pm This is the S from that period, can u say that isn't the same S Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 54762 Posts	Posted 07/18/2020 5:34 pm Tell you what, @Doodatt, submit it to a major TPG and if it comes back authenticated as a '70-S, I'll pick up the grading fees (which you won't need because you'll be rich). Serious offer! Edited by Coinfrog 07/18/2020 5:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

They would not have tried to stamp 1 coin They used single die presses, they struck coins on individual planchets not sheets. The mint did not start using dual presses until the late 1960's and quad die presses in the 1980's. In 2002 they switch to a much faster single die press striking horizontally. Your coin is an 1870 from Philadelphia. Gary Schmidt Report this Post to the Staff
