    IMO, yes!

    What does this coin remind you of?

    Here's one I shot today. By far one of the hardest coins I have ever shot.

    Thought you should know that there is another 1893/2 Dime in PCGS 58 coming up
    at auction at Heritage - I believe for Coinfest in Conn in October... check it out.

    Good luck !!

    I paid $95 to a dealer named Chris Young (a heck of a nice dude) @ FUN 2007. It's roughly XF, and I overpaid (happily). :)

    My lone Barber half. It was graded too low when I bought it.

    The Barber King, Mike, has seen these before, but I'd thought I'd add them to the thread anyway. A little color here and there, and a whole lot of crustiness......

    I looked at that area with a 10X - and its a toning void;
    the mark on the D of Dollar is a small tick.

    Hi Catbert -

    Its always a pleasure seeing your coins - don't be shy - post as many as you'd like.
    My cousin has asked me to put together a nice mid range cost set of 1893 coins for
    his about to be 17 yr old daughter.

    I was lucky to have a duplicate Dime in AU 58 - and I just picked up a Quarter in 40:

    Here's a lovely little half. Though it doesn't show in the photo, it has tons of cartwheel luster.

    900Fine - You're right - that is a "lovely little half". Great toning and I
    can only imagine all the cartwheel luster booming underneath.

    Very nice looking coin - especially for a MS 63.
