Please let me know what grade you would assign to the new one. Thanks for looking! 1843 Seated Liberty Half Dollar (Old vs. New) Edited by Moe145 12/15/2011 12:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

NicO Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 1:59 pm Low to Mid AU. I'm also curious about the reverse shield. Does anyone have any information on this? Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 5:06 pm It almost looks like die damage the way the shield lines terminate at that point. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 5:31 pm I would go with AU-53. May have been lightly cleaned but it is still a very nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 12/24/2011 4:12 pm I was browsing Dr Eugene Bruder's (Typecoins.com) inventory of Seated Liberty half dollars and noted this 1858 SL Half: http://www.typecoins.com/store/product?pid=74591 The reverse shield marks, which he claims are a result of a die clash, appears VERY close to what my 1843 has. I'm now thinking the shield disparity may be a die clash versus a solder-drip or PMD. Thoughts? Edited by Moe145 12/24/2011 4:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 12/25/2011 07:42 am I think it was coppercoins who had an overlay routine to mirror obv/rev. I dont think that's PMD...but I'm not sure it's a die clash either. Edited by j_h_s 12/25/2011 07:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
