<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 6484572, member: 103207"]This an interesting coin. Is it a proof maybe maybe not. In 1865 the same dies that struck all the proofs also was used to strike half dimes being placed into circulation. This could be same case with this half dime. It's possible the dies were polished after the proofs were struck and they started to use the dies for circulation strike coins. I think this likely the case with this 1873 half dime. I think this is a circulation strike because the details really aren't that sharp. I have two books on half dimes so I may find the information in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
