<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3765251, member: 19250&quot;]As a collector of half dimes first let me say you have been given a better date coin.</p><p>The 1840 O Type &#039;ll obverse was used on the majority of the 1840 h-10&#039;s struck at the New Orleans and Philly. The New Orleans mintage was 695,000 they used 7 obv.. Dies and 8 reverse dies to strike the total mintage.....your specimen has an medium O mint mark. For 1840 there were 3 mm sizes used sm, med, lg, O&#039;s..</p><p>This can be determined by size as well the O shape. I believe your coin to be an V-2 * confirmed * by markers..</p><p>Your coin shows fine details, the wear isn&#039;t as bad as the strached surfaces,that also shows signs of eviromental damage.</p><p>Adding up the plus&#039;s and the minus your coin is worth about $50 , but again a better date to build on.....if I spotted this coin at a show it would be purchased within reason of price.</p><p>This is an O mint mark low mintage, survival rate, condition....is why...I buy as many as I find because you could attend 10 shows with 100 tables at each show....and not find 1 1840 seated half dime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
