Killer half dime!

 

Was bought at the Newman sales as unc detail cleaning I played the crackout game and lost the pedigree but got it in a straight ms 62 slab. Which is where it should be in my opinion. A retoned old dip but totally market acceptable

 

that first coin has A.T. written all over it. lol

 

'dude

 

This one isn't mine, someone sent me the pic, but I'd love to have it.

 

I sold it about a year ago

 

Bought this from a dealer at the World's Fair of Money 2015....

Errmmm... "the first one"? LOL

You meant to say "all of them", right?

 

To my eye they all do.....

 

Looks nice but I'm in the AT camp on this one, I've never seen one toned like this in 50+ years of collecting that I would call natural .

 

I believe this to be a Valentine 14 obv. 1,8,10,11 stars are defective, or repunched . Start at the base of the rock clockwise . Doubling seen on the following stars 1,8,10,11
stars on left side doubling seen on the first star on 3 upper arms. Stars on right side ,doubling seen on the 8th star on 3 arms closest to head doubling on 10th star on the upper inside arm.
Die # obv. 9 rev. 7, 4 DDO-009
These can be tricky the first attempt I was just using Valentine that leaves a lot of missing pieces . Now I'm using Flynn ' s references makes the case.

 

LOL there are so many 1838 Varieties on the repunched stars. It's really hard not having the coin in hand to do the diagnosis from jumping back and forth from the op image to the reference . I'm sure the last edit got it right. As markers ,die cracks can vary coin to coin.

 

Pcgs blessed it au58. Todd took the pictures, the blue is about right though the gold doesn't show in hand.

 

Double post

 

Thanks Jester for the update . As we all know photo images as well as coin in hand can be two different things.
My first guess was someone tried to layer or gold plate over the head and wreath . Now being the date that didn't seem logical . .....but why the things we do in coin collecting? As over the years I've seen some real clusters when it comes to coins.

 

They all do. The dime actually looks pretty cool.
99.99% of the stuff this person posts is AT

 

Here is a Lincoln Cent that came with a 1950 proof set I just picked up.
