(1) It's 1795, not 1975.
(2) It needs to be authenticated and graded. No one will buy it as is (raw). You'll need to ship it to one of the better TPGs (NGC, PCGS). Considering the cost to do that you had better be confident that it's real.

to the CCF Two things Please change your heading, it reads 1975 After spending some time looking at it closer, I have come to the conclusion that it is a counterfeit 100% Edited by JimmyD

Agreed with the above, the chances of this coin being authentic, are slim to none & Slim left town.

Could you explain how you came to that conclusion? Just google a photo of a genuine 1795 Half Dime and do a side by side comparison the Obverse and Reverse. I know there are a couple of variations but the OP's coin is not the same as any of them. If I have time later on, I will do one and post it. |

There are 10 varieties of the 1795 Half Dime, and this one matches closely to LM-2. Here's one that sold at Heritage several years ago. https://coins.ha.com/itm/early-half.../1172-3310.s I'm not entirely convinced of authenticity because of some subtle differences in the thickness of some letters and the shape of some serifs. It clearly would need to be authenticated and graded before selling given the rarity of that variety. |

Here's a comparison of the 1795 Half Dime LM-2 with the OP's coin on top.  |

Thanks for be welcome.
Yes! You found a similar one.
I had the box with autentication ...genuine coin ...but I don t like the grade that they put on it.
My opinion is that a coin need to be hold in a hand and not close in a box

I would suggest Great Collections, but it will have to be sent in for authentication and put in another box with a grade. The auction house can take care of that and send it in for you though.
Stack's Bowers may be your best option if you want to sell raw. If I recall correctly some coins need not be graded by a third party to be listed there.
