Hi,
That's a normal half dime. Its just worn. Let's see a picture of the edge...

Thanks,
Bill

 

PCI had grade a Broad strike. before I removed to put with my other half dime set
I know the photo are not that good.
I will find the old PCI hold and post it

 

Forget about the holder, let's see the edge of the coin

Thanks,
Bill

 

the coin is 17.38mm north to south and 17.34mm east to west.

 

Edge,,,not rim....is the edge reeded?

 

Agreed, inquiring minds want to know.

 

Not 100% about 80%.I mark the rim that is reed less

 

Take a picture of the edge of the coin and please post it.

Also, if there is reeding visible on 80% of it then it is not a broadstruck coin. Even if the reeding is weak in a spot. The collar adds the reeding. A broadstruck coin in a reeded series does not get the reeding added.

End result, this coin is not a broadstruck coin. If it was slabbed as such there are two possibilities. Another and not unusual poor slabbing job when it comes to an error. OR>>>it was a phony slab made to look like it was done by a third party grader.

 

Can you not see the rim that hung out of the Die?

 

not the rim, the edge is what we want to see.

 

Here 1 more photo that may help.

 

turn it on it's side , then take a picture.

 

The edge, please, I posted this so there is no confusion. The edge and the rim are different. We need to see the edge. As stated though, the coin is normal.

 

jelo
if there is any reeding, the coin cannot be a broadstrike.

 

where did you dig that up?

 

I will!

 

I not sure how long I had this one,but I started my Half Dime collection about 1998.

 

If it was slabbed, why did you remove it from the slab then?
