    MS 64, maybe a $500 coin, unless proof

    MS 63, but knocking on the door of 64. Toning may have given it the needed bump.

    PF-62/63 or so. Not a huge fan of the toning, though. It may have a cameo designation.

    image.jpeg We have a winner. The obverse is nice. The reverse toning is stunning tho the pics really don't do it justice. Reverse not a cam tho just the obverse

    This ones really pretty in hand. The holder scratches don't help the pics

    Wow, there are proof half dimes for the price of a new PS4. For like 1000 minted I expected a much higher price.

    Half dimes are really underrated as are seated proofs. And you can buy a nice lower grade one with some mint made polish hairlines or some handling marks keeping it in the 61-3 range for cheap. Even nice proof dimes can be had for shy of $500 my best advice is to look for them with nice original surfaces

    Very pretty coin. I was thinking Proof-63/64-something myself with that strike.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Is there much cameo in hand? The obverse looks like it has some, but it looks like the toning on the reverse obfuscates the cameo. How are the mirrors? They look somewhat shallow in the pics, but again that may just be from the lighting. I love the color and originality of this piece.

    Obverse is cameo. Reverse is not. And wasn't before the toning. So the 64 non cam grade I feel correct. The reverse is really amazing in hand. A classic old album toner
