theunsla Valued Member South Africa 112 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 1:08 pm Sorry about the odd colour... I'm still trying to figure out my camera. I know that some variants of this coin exist. The date is quite wonky and the 5 is slightly raised. The obverse has some dirt on it. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 3:33 pm This is commonly referred to as a capped bust Half Dime. Looks au58. I don't see any wear but the luster is missing on a lot of the coin. Touching coins with your fingers can remove luster. Also, if it looks dirty or it has any defect, JUST LEAVE IT ALONE and let a professional come up with a plan for remediation. Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 7:56 pm This Half Dime is in really great shape. As for the die variety, I am leaning towards, LM-10 You can attribute these using http://www.everythinghalfdimes.com/...lf-dime.html Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 8:44 pm That coin is very well struck for a Half Dime. It also appears to be a very high grade piece that could easily be worth several hundred USD. I would not mess with the (reverse) dirt. It is a Small Date, Large 5C variety.
