Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 08:01 am Got a bid in on this one. I like the detail but not crazy about the scratch above the date and in the right obverse field. Not enough to detail it, though, I think. Opinions and grade? I'm thinking EF45.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 06/02/2025 11:07 am obv XF40/ rev XF45 the coin may details as that hit appears to have displaced metal. its hard to tell with a straight on shot. you can test it by running your fingernail across it left to right. they typically will detail a coin it does. i'd acetone it to see if it helped with the eye appeal at all.

Fayette1800 Pillar of the Community United States 1094 Posts	Posted 06/03/2025 10:36 am These 1/2 dimes are so tiny, I doubt the scratches are even noticeable. I am going to say EF45 straight. Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3638 Posts	Posted 06/03/2025 12:39 pm Nice coin. Half Dimes should get a bit of a pass on scratches because of their size. They were the little coin kids surrounded by bigger coin purse bullies. I'm at EF-40 here, and I think it straight grades. The obverse has a bit of a circulation cameo going on, and it has good eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 06/03/2025 1:10 pm The tiny scratches (gouges) appear old and toned over. Not a problem coin imo. XF straight is my guess. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
