<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2576275, member: 19250&quot;]My two references&nbsp; on US&nbsp; Seated Half&nbsp; dimes&nbsp; there are no reference&nbsp; to a V-6. Valentine&nbsp; book only list 4 of the&nbsp; 1854 O half dimes. Valentine&nbsp; list&nbsp; a&nbsp;&nbsp; H-10 as a V-2 that is close to your specimen . See below description . </p><p>Obv. High date, medium ,even numerals. 1,8,and 5 touch base.small arrows&nbsp; close to base and numerals.</p><p>Rev. Die of no.1 cracks at T of United and between ME of America .</p><p><br /></p><p>The other reference&nbsp; is Flynn &#039; s book the Authoritative&nbsp; Reference&nbsp; of Seated half Dimes. Which is copyright&nbsp; 2014 so one of the newest&nbsp; books on these coin has no reference&nbsp; to&nbsp; the&nbsp; 1854 O in any die state ,or under any varieties .</p><p>This is of interest&nbsp; to me as I do collect&nbsp; H-10 &#039; s and have never heard of such a variety . </p><p>What I find strange&nbsp; is Valentine book&nbsp; only list 4 for the 1854 O so how can it be a V-6?</p><p>Plus in the rear of the text there are up dates written&nbsp; by&nbsp; others who also fail to note anything&nbsp; on a 1854 O variety .</p><p>I personally&nbsp; don&#039;t&nbsp; have&nbsp; any reference&nbsp; of Blythe works.</p><p>The text is out of print and costly to find one in good condition . There is one listed on Amazon&nbsp; used at $90.</p><p>Out of print since 1992. </p><p>I would interested&nbsp; in finding more on your specimen&nbsp; myself as a variety&nbsp; collector . But since Valentine&nbsp; and Blythe there has been few references&nbsp; other than Flynn &#039; s printed .&nbsp; Also since most older references&nbsp; finds have been updated or debunked I&#039;m&nbsp; not&nbsp; quite sure what to believe,</p><p>but again if there is a such animal out there I would like to be in the hunt&nbsp; as 1854 O&#039;s are quite easy to find at a show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
