1853 New Orleans Seated liberty half dime.

It's my first half dime and I think it's in pretty nice shape

Nice piece...looks authentic.
I would like to see the coin closer.
Please try a new photo.

 

nice find.

 

Take pictures out of the 2X2 holder.
the plastic hides the coin

 

Nice pick up, Soren. You're on your way to building a type set.

 

Very nice !!! Many are so worn from circulation, only a 'ghostly' image remains...

 

Look like a nice half dime. Please try to get some closer photos.

 

Ok

 

Thanks

 

Ok

 

Nice Type 4 (with Arrows) Seated Half Dime.

 

Nice large O mint mark! Thanks for the photos

 

Your welcome I got it for $10 do you think that it was a good deal? I don't really know because I have never bought a half dime.

 

I actually might get this really nice dansco book which is the US type set one for my birthday

 

I'm sure others will shortly chime in...but I believe you got an EXCELLENT deal on it.
Since lower fine grades sell for $20-$50 and I would guess yours is somewhere in the middle...either way, your cost was a bargain for a 1853-O....and looks terrific as well !!!!!...Of course, if graded and certified, surface alterations (cleaning etc) could drop the value to $20 or a bit lower....

I also need an album, I just restarted a 'Type Collection' myself.

 

Cool it is expensive to get coins graded

 

I agree. You did quite well.

 

Relatively yes...more than you paid for the coin...maybe 2 or 3 times as much.

 

Thanks
