NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5178 Posts	Posted 12/14/2020 8:07 pm What do you think of this 1873-S Seated Liberty half dime? The seller has it at Choice VF+. Seems reasonable as I think the obverse could be VF35. HOWEVER, I am not sure what is going on at the reverse with the "spongy" appearance around " Half Dime". Environmental damage? Also, the price seems to be completely out of whack for a 1873-S H10C: $140+! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/14/2020 8:16 pm The center of the reverse has clearly been cleaned. Ditto for that light spot between the head and the cap. Edited by Coinfrog 12/14/2020 8:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 12/14/2020 8:44 pm I might be able to say VF30 but there are issues here and it's a not a great looking piece by any means. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 12/14/2020 8:46 pm Very much a details coin. My opinionated recommendation is to use the $140 of your budget elsewhere. Report this Post to the Staff
