Here is an overlooked Half Dime (they are small aren't they?) that I picked up last weekend What do you think about this one? It has a pretty obvious die clash. What do you think in comparison to PCGS? Thanks!    Edited by oih82w8

Not sure why the OBV (image) is rotated 90 degrees, photobucket does not show it this way...working on fixing it.  Better now!  Edited by oih82w8

Yeah, I'll go with EF45 but it wouldn't floor me if PCGS called it AU. Big clashing & a die crack at 5:00 reverse, flow lines still visible and the bottom half of the reverse rim kinda fascinates me.
This one's a keeper.

I've been back to look at this a couple times since my post, and I'm struck by the strike (to coin a phrase  ). Look close, guys. I'm beginning to think that, if strike is taken into account, I may be a few points low. |

If I recall, the op's original pictures were much smaller. There is plenty of luster remaining too, especially among the devices, as well as that nice strike you mentioned Dave. I do see wear, minimal at that. I think you may be on to something.
