[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2998881, member: 19250"]Nice find today at a small show...I picked up this 1837 H-10 I like to call it an VF 37.5 as it's not quite an XF but depending on what devices you're looking at it teeters back and forth between Vf and Xf in grade. I'm very pleased as this one is the small straight date variety of the 37 seated Liberty half dime, a variety I did not have as of yet. It is an Valentine # 5 B The straight date 1 has no peak at the top ,1 has rounded serifs on top and bottom. The bottom right serif on 1 is shorter than left.top loop of 8 is smaller than bottom loop.Smaller thin 3 knobs father apart less distinction on 7. 37 curved date 1 has top peak slopes to left ,1 has distinct serifs on top and bottom,bottom right serif is longer,top anbottom loops of the 8 are same size . The 3 is wilder knobs closer together more distinct outline of 7. [ATTACH=full]741513[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]741514[/ATTACH] The curve date specimen above is also an RPD-001 1837/1837/8 that also an MPD. Notice the base of the 7 as well the 8's loop below the 8 [ATTACH=full]741529[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
