GTG-1832 Half Dime

@johnmilton absolutely agree that a full set of 65s would be daunting! I'm pursuing the entire set of capped bust half dimes, and I've set the bar far lower than that (especially for the tough ones), and I'm not even meeting that bar yet. Heck, I'm eating ramen six days a week as it is!

OK, it's not quite that bad. But that set has recently grown from 123 coins to 125, and of the two new ones (both of which use Reverse L: 1830 LM-9.3 with cud, and 1831 LM-1.4 with even more advanced cud) the 1830 is an R8. So that's a bummer.

edit: just in case I wasn't clear, I don't own all 125 coins in the set, that's just how many I'd need to own to be at 100% these days.

But you're darn close and your average set grade is also pretty darn high. Go see his PCGS Registry Set if you want to be impressed.

And BTW, it would not only be hard to assemble the entire die marriage set in MS-65, it would quite literally be impossible since some of the die marriages are very low ball. One of them, the only coin known, is holed.

 

I’m genuinely shocked I got both parts right

 

First of all it won’t let me guess. I’ll read on

 

The word Liberty RTY. Is given trouble

 

I kinda see the green sticker as a coin that graded a few times

 

Good thoughts

 

If I could log a vote, a very tentative AU-50. Given the wear:luster ratio, my gut says Details.

 

Holed. That’s just plans sad.

 

Looked it up. Is the 1 known coin 1870S??

 

The 1-known is a (somewhat recently) found 1830 LM-9.3. Those of us that covet all the capped bust half dimes, remarriages included, are keeping a keen eye open for a second example. It has a cud, and it happens that "the Cud Guy" got it. The amazing thing is, it survived for 190-ish years without being recognized as a remarriage. Maybe worn on someone's necklace or charm bracelet with its handy-dandy hole.
