Florida_Steve New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/16/2016 9:51 pm Does this look authentic. It just doesn't appear correct. Look at S in the States. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1835-Capped...AOSwuR5XPmQI I am new to this and would like some feedback on this coin. Thanks Steve Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/17/2016 12:29 am authentic but over dipped. You can get a fairly high grade TPG for this price or slightly more. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/17/2016 09:52 am LM-3, the low S is the diagnostic for this variety. It is a common one with an R-1 rating. Report this Post to the Staff

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 11/19/2016 08:04 am Trying to find one little thing weird is not the way to authenticate these coins. The best way to learn how to authenticate coins is to look at a BUNCH of them and get a general idea of what a coin is supposed to look like for a grade. 99% of counterfeits have a style that is different than a genuine coin in the same grade. ebay is a good resource for this (at least for capped bust Half Dimes) as 99.9999% of the coins are genuine. Also look at fakes (if you want me to post pictures of a couple fakes, I can) and try to discern how and why they are different. If you still have doubts, match it to a known die variety. Sometimes the weird thing that catches your eye is a diagnostic for a variety. http://www.everythinghalfdimes.com Report this Post to the Staff
