Seated Half dime type-set

Here is my seatedhalf dime type set. One was graded anacs au-50, another ngc au-55; and the third one was raw. They all have about the same amount of luster and similar wear. I'm quite pleased with them! There are a few hairlines that jump out with high res pictures, but absolutely none of them are visible to the naked eye. Opinions? A

nice examples man. I love the half dime. One of the first coins that I ever bought was a half dime. I love that thing.

 

Your 1853 Arrows is from clashed dies.
You can see it particularly on the reverse:
- the wavy line below "TES" in "STATES"
- possibly above the "AL" in "HALF"
- inside the "M" in "DIME"
There's probably other places too.

BTW, I like die clashes.
Like die cracks, they give a coin personality.

Nice group of coins.

 

very nice, love those clashed dies.

 

always wanted the set never could get it. nice :thumb:

 

Very nice.

Have you considered adding a No Stars 1837 / 1838-O ? Very distinctive coins.

 

Nice details on those! A great set and a cool denomination.

 

thanks guys!

Yeah, I love the no stars! My DANSCO only holds spaces for 3 types. I could punch a hole in it though like I did for my gold page.:smile

 

For the record, my type set contains five SL half dimes.

No Stars (1837-38)
Stars/No Drapery (1838-40)
Stars/Drapery (1840-53, 1856-1859)
Arrows (1853-55)
Legend (1860-73)

 

Nice set of coins!

 

nice observations. I thought they might be die cracks, but wasn't sure.
