The Collaborative "Virtual 7070" Type Set Project

Those poor little half dimes often did. Trimes, too. It was a big, tough world out there for a relatively thin little coin.

 

Good morning, and welcome to February 3rd.

Today our type will be the Liberty Seated Half Dime Arrows (1853-55).

Again, I lack a problem-free example of this type in my current collection, so I'm falling back on my "holey" type set.

Here goes. Hide your eyes if you're frightened of problem coins!

Not only does my holey collection have scary stuff, it also has crappy photographs. You can tell the stuff I shot with my phone. Maybe one day I will get decent photos of all the holeys, because... umm...

... just because. We know everybody wants to look at 'em, right? LOL





OK, enough of that.

Here at least is an acceptable example of the type that I used to own. Nothing earthshaking, but decent enough.

 

Good morning, and welcome to February 4th.

Today we'll move on to our next type, which is the Liberty Seated Half Dime Legend (1860-73).

As is embarrasingly usual, I do not have this type in my current holdings. So here's a holey from my corkboard collection, with the usual bad pics.

There is a cryptic notation in my filenames which says "dbld", so I gather there is some doubling on this coin somehwere?

I've had higher grade, problem-free examples of this type in the past (maybe even MS), but those coins have gone out of my memory and I do not have any pics of them. So the holey below will have to do.
