Came across a new coin website that apparently also offered coins for sale. Found this Seated Liberty half dime. Looks XF 45 or low AU to me at first sight. There are some strange cuts/cracks on the reverse between the wreath and the border. Not sure what they are.   |

Is that a long toned-in scratch in the right obverse field? And tell us what you make of all those lines near the reverse rim at K2 and K6-10.

What is K2, K6-10?
Yes, I was wondering about those lines near the reverse as well.

K refers to the hour position on a clock face. So K-2 means "2 o'clock" or thereabouts. Can you give us close-ups of these areas?

Sorry, these are the sellers' photos. I don't have any better/larger ones.

I'm by no means a pro...but I don't like her face (nose) and her right hand looks strange...wonder how others free about this coin being genuine.

her right hand looks strange And her arm holding the shield is kinda huge? I don't know if that's circulation flattening or she was a professional bowler  |

the date is too large and for this coin there is no small/large date variety. look at how close it is to the rims. the front of the face is off particularly the nose. the fingers on her left hand are wonky. the left arm is not right. I call fake  Edited by panzaldi

Could be a fake. I found it on a website that CCF has banned.

I'm leaning towards fake as well with panzaldi. Thought briefly of a possible impaired proof, but the reverse issues pointed out by the OP and the obverse details don't quite add up.

Is this another fake coin I found? The date in this case also almost touches the rim. Liberty's left arm also looks "too fat".  Edited by NumisEd
