<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 8165732, member: 19250&quot;]Mark your specimen wont grade....but guess what 80% wont due to being messed with cleaning again to the toning. But do not let that spoil your purchase as it definitely is a vf/xf coin so somwhere in the $50 range. </p><p>I would of picked it up at that price . I picked up this 1852 a few weeks ago again cleaned at some point</p><p>But it was under $40 [ATTACH=full]1425769[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1425770[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1425771[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Cap bust half dimes are getting very pricy even the lower grades. Those I would be more selective for a type set slot. But any 40 to 50 $ that aren&#039;t trashed are well worth the money.</p><p>All in all you got a nice specimen that given an acetone bath wiill look very nice. I give majority of my purchases a acetone bath.</p><p>But remember you only need to satisfy yourself....as everyone has an opinion and they are just thatan opinion. For the money you did well... one last thing a warning....these little gems have a way that can become habit forming.....as I now have two double slab boxes filled of both cap bust,and seated halfdimes.&nbsp; Just about 20 some shy of a complete set from 1829-1873 mostly the keys,and varieties that I haven&#039;t cherrypick yet.</p><p>This is a very useful site. </p><p><a href="https://sites.google.com/view/clintcummins/half-dime-attribution-guide" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://sites.google.com/view/clintcummins/half-dime-attribution-guide" rel="nofollow">https://sites.google.com/view/clintcummins/half-dime-attribution-guide</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
