It appears there was something else struck on it though, but I can't figure out what. Reverse has more markings than the obverse. I'm too new at this, any of your ideas would be appreciated.

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 03/13/2010 6:24 pm it appears to be a clashed die, by which the dies struck each other with no coin in between the dies, leaving impressions of each die upon the other, you can see the (reverse)wreath clash just behind the arm there.. on the reverse you can see parts of the Obverse features popping out..Pretty cool clashed Half Dime there!!
