Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 05/21/2009 12:35 pm I see definite wear on Liberty's breast and legs and dimming of luster in the obverse fields from friction. The denticles and some obverse stars show weakness which I would attribute to strike. I'd call it AU-50 overall. The reverse is better and approaches mint state IMO but the obverse limits the grade. The reverse die clash marks are an interesting feature. Nice Half Dime, and pretty decent photos Moe! These little coins are a challenge to photograph. Report this Post to the Staff

Thank you, Sir! My Olympus digital has a super close up Macro mode. It seems to work fairly well. Edited by Moe145 05/21/2009 7:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 05/23/2009 12:43 am I would call it 53. Not enough luster to go 58 imo. Nice coin though, and great detail on the reverse! Edited by johnny54321 05/23/2009 12:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
