EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 1:40 pm I chose something a little different for my type set with this one. Mintage of only 350,000, not the lowest of New Orleans Half Dime mintage, but a tough date in higher grades. I think it's a VG10. ' Half Dime' on the reverse isn't so much wear, as it is a weak strike. Most of Liberty still visible. Boy these coins are tiny.

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 3:27 pm I'm going to do you one better and call it an F12 as faint as it is, LIBERTY is very much visible I am bit concerned with the rim at high noon on the reverse, looks scratched(?) and that could detail it nice type set coin in the grade for sure awesome, thanks for sharing Report this Post to the Staff

A grading service sees a problem with a coin (cleaning, rim damage, tooling, etc.) and decides to "detail" it, i.e. put it in a problem slab with a details grade or Genuine designation. I'm putting together an ANACS submission soon; sure hope they don't decide to "detail" any of my coins! Oh, I agree with VG-10 for this coin. Color is dark but doesn't appear to be the result of corrosion. The rim scrape is likely acceptable given the relatively low grade. Yep, it's a better date and those are the kind I like to see in a type set. Pretty nice! Report this Post to the Staff
