Beautiful coin! I would not know how to grade her, but I can compare it to mine which was graded EF45. Your example is far superior, not to...
Lots of good answers in the above posts. Not much I can add. I tend to look for scarcer dates, specially in the Pre-1850's half dimes, dimes and...
Good example, Mat! I really like the 'old head' types showing the king as he appeared in his later years. Definitely not the guy you wanted to...
Very detailed and laborious work as usual, Jack :), and extremely interesting and useful for collectors of these coins (like myself!) For my...

Good points, RittenhouseCU. I have also read somewhere that during the exchange of the large cents for the new small cents some lucky individuals...
is that really ALL you have to say about this coin ??
Very nice! I'll have to look at my 1838 half dime to see if it is one of the cool varieties. Only problem is I cannot find it!:).
Thanks everybody for your comments. For those who may be interested, this is an S-205. This variety is an R-4. Noteworthy is the nice quality of...
