<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3508850, member: 19250&quot;]The coin is Au and also the 1858 inverted date variety. There are several years 56 through 58 where you&#039;ll find soft strikes.....mushy as I call them...notice the denticles and rims...some areas well defined others mushy ,flat,and&nbsp; run together look. Misaligned somewhat as the rim goes from thin to thicker and teeth of the denticles all different sizes and shapes.</p><p>Without the luster ,the wear&nbsp; or rubs on the high spots would keep it in the Au range.</p><p>Still a very nice half dime specimen and variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>It almost looks to me as the pressure durring the strike wasn&#039;t equal......making some details look flatten ,and square like as other areas look fine. As a h 10 collector this effect is quite prevalent in 56,57 and 1858 half dimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
