When I saw this, I was drawn to the strike, which was excellent for the type, and the original surfaces. The other 16 star variety was paired with the small eagle that appears on the 15 star coin. It is never well struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>The price was not far from Grey Sheet bid, so I bought it. I’m glad I did. It’s one of my favorite half dimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
