Here is another. Will let it stay out there longer. What are your guesses and analysis.   |

I'll guess MS-63 but would not be surprised if it graded higher.

MS-63. The obverse needs more "POP!" to rate an MS-65. The 1858 Half Dime was a high mintage date, and the dies tend to get "tired." Some coins were not struck in MS-65 from the get-go as odd as that sounds. |

Sounds like I need to bust this out and resubmit. I have found this a lot with these liberty Seated half dimes. Quite a few MS62's.  Edited by Fayette1800

63
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

If it has dull luster, I could see it coming back as an MS-62 again. It could be "tired dies," or it could be over dipped. Dipping kills luster if you do it repeatedly, use the wrong stuff or leave it in the solution for too long.
