Got this one as a fluke because it was old When I research this coin online I get three varieties...can someone help me figure this one out? Which variety? I would also be grateful for your opinion on the grade and value. Thanks much everyone Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 07/07/2013 3:28 pm I am by no means an expert on this series but....It looks off to me the date looks odd the berries on the reverse look too large and the serifs on the reverse are off. Lets hope I'm way off! It would be a Cohen-2 variety. Report this Post to the Staff
CityofKooks Valued Member Canada 278 Posts	Posted 07/07/2013 3:54 pm hi thanks for the response, what do you mean it's off though? the date and berries...I am not sure what you mean. I looked at others online and they seem to be pretty much the same...even the picture on the NGC site...thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 07/07/2013 4:01 pm Compare your reverse to this one http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents...cent_c02.htm Look at the T in cent, the fraction and the berries...yours look wrong to me. Report this Post to the Staff
