[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 3592712, member: 19250"]Here is an image of my specimen 1864 S h-10[ATTACH=full]960154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]960155[/ATTACH] These are not something you find at every show ,on any show for that matters, with the mintage at 90,000. They are pricy in all conditions, and would venture to say that finding one by going to a years worth of shows could be fruitless. The next show you go to just look for half dimes in general, then if the dealers do have some notice the limited amount and the dates available.....the odds of finding something in the mid 1860s slim to none....the 1840's slim to none! And for the most part even damaged coins sometimes bring a high premum due to the fact the mintages are so low. Notice the dates on the op coin the 1 looks to be off of level as compared to the 864. Look at mine the date looks level all numbers on the same plane. If in fact only 1 die marriage is known for the 1864 S then there shouldn't be any difference in the numbers. Unless there are more than 1 die marriage. That would explaine the date digits placement.[/QUOTE]
