<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 24639174, member: 105571&quot;]This is not a noteworthy coin although it does have some of that &quot;circ-cam&quot; look to it.&nbsp; No, it&#039;s notable because it&#039;s an R-6 (13-30 known) die remarriage and I got it for a good price, about twice what a common coin in this grade would go for.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, among the Capped Bust Half Dime community there is some debate as to whether or not the die remarriage traditional definitions for Reverse G are correct.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think we have settled this issue yet, so I have attributed this coin using the traditional criteria.&nbsp; If it was judged using the criteria proposed by well-known half dime collector and expert Richard Meaney, this coin would be the LM-1.2 and only an R-4.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On a bit of a cranky sidenote:&nbsp; I wish NGC would use clear prongs like PCGS or at least smaller ones for these little coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have a Happy Independence Day!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1567670[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
