<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25378212, member: 101855&quot;]Here&#039;s the nudge. This 1800 half dime is graded MS-64. It&#039;s the highest grade early U.S. coin I have. It came from Sarasota Rare Coin. They often seem to turn nice coins from the people in the area, which is shall we say &quot;well off.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1624879[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the 1800 LM-1 variety. It is the most common 1800 variety and the most common variety among the 1800 to 1805 Draped Bust, Large Eagle half dimes. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is fully struck, which is unusual for this type. The 1800 half dime is the only piece that comes this way with any frequency. Having said that, the population of fully struck pieces is about 20. </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1800 half dime is the second most common date in the series. The most common date is the 1795.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
