<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4947297, member: 101855&quot;]Half cents from this era usually come in fairly high grades. It’s rare to see one in less than Choice VF unless it’s damaged. By this time the public didn’t have much use for half cents, and they did not circulate will.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that your piece was dipped at one time and has recovered some color. Whether or not it’s the kind of color that will get it into a straight graded holder is a question. When I was getting my collection graded, about 20 years ago, I got hammered with no-grades, most of them undeserved.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the 1835 half cent that is in my collection. This used to be my higher grade type coin. Now I have a couple of others that have higher grades, if they are not really better. NGC short changed me on this one with an MS-63, Brown grade. I think that it is an easy MS-64. The lines you see on the reverse are on the holder. This one is a Cohen variety #1, but both varieties for the year are common.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1189121[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1189122[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
