Hi guys! Sorry to be gone so long. Been missing you good folks! Anyway, a cool coin came through and I decided to post up pics. I'll leave most commentary to the CT Krewe. But I gotta say two things: it's in full grade NGC plastic,*=AND=* there are some very cool things about the die state. Enjoy! Ricky B 900fine Coins
Welcome back Ricky B. You've been gone too long........love your web site, Love your coins. Wish I had more money.........
That reverse die was worn out!! Very nice coin. I'm guessing xf 40-45 depending how they saw the reverse
V-1 R-3 Early die state as I don't see any of the cracks that form on this variety. Interesting die clash on the reverse which I don't see mentioned in the references. Good thing they tend to be more lenient on the early coins or I don't think it would have straight graded.
Looking closely at the plate in Federal Half Dimes 1792 - 1837 you can see traces of the clash on the reverse but they are nowhere near ass bold as the clash on this coin.
