[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 282877, member: 2972"]Yes, that appears to be a 1858 over inverted 1858. [i]VP-001. Al Blythe, in his Seated Liberty half dime book, says of this issue that "All four digits of the date were originally punched upside down and then corrected. Tops of the inverted punched numerals can be seen slightly above the middle of the corrected date." [/i] Here's a link to another example: [url]http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=446&Lot_No=890&src=pr#[/url] [img]http://images.heritagecoin.com/images/NewNames/75/1/0/3/1/1031845.jpg[/img] Your coin looks, to me, to be AU, and the reverse has both a die crack and evidence of clashing. Thanks for sharing...Mike[/QUOTE]
