64 A strictly Mint State coin with only some minor blemishes. The blown-up photos make the marks look bigger than they are.
Oh yes. The die was really getten beat up by this time, but it still produced an attractive coin. I bought this piece years ago from JJ Teaparty...
I voted EF-40. Part of the missing detail is due to the strike. The piece does not have enough wear to fall into theh VF category IMO.
The discussion about die states and my current project, which an exhibit of the early half dimes, got me thinking about the 1801 half dime. The...
I guess I'm the "lberal" here. I voted AU-53. There is not much wear on this piece. some of the mushiness and the depression to the left of Ms....
I voted MS-62. It has some "carbon spots" and it's a little chippy here in there. I imagine that it's graded MS-63. Many commemorative coin...
