<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2289301, member: 19250&quot;]From the same dealer I picked up the 1833 H-10 I found this one. A bargain at $20! Even more so I believe after I got it home to scope it out. Now there are two known varieties of the 1849 H-10. both are over dates. One is a Valentine #1 9/8 the other is an Valentine 2 and also an 9/8 variety.</p><p>Many have been lead to believe that that these are an 9 over an inverted 6, some believe it to be an 9 over an inverted 9.</p><p>I believe the coin pictured to be an FS-H-10 -1849-302 see my images.</p><p>Now the half dime is an Valentine #2&nbsp; is the variety. The diagnostics are as follows for the V-2 Obv. Numbers rather slender,open date.tha&#039;ts not high. The 9 shows a defect in its opening.</p><p>Rev. Medium lettering, die crack at N of United,D of Dime, H of Half T of states and bow of wreath.</p><p>Notice that all of the following fall into line.</p><p>Plus look inside the loop of the 9 high lighted in red.</p><p>Now what I don&#039;t see is the evidence of the underlying 8 to the south east of the 9&nbsp;&nbsp; on the field below. My scope does shoe me bits and pieces of what I believe to be parts of an 8 that has been polished off,or worn due to age of this coin.</p><p>However what sells me on this being the variety is the shape of the raised medal inside the 9&#039;s loop. It&#039;s located and matches the the same as the image in the CPG 4th ed. Vol.ll page 9. I would grade this coin as an Vf. coin showing wear on its high spots but still plenty of meat on the bone.If this is by chance the Variety it&#039;s one of the Seated Liberty collectors favorites variety.[ATTACH=full]458816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458819[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
