Looks like a Large 5 C variety.
I can't see the date on the obverse clearly enough.
It's not a 3 over inverted 3 is it?
If it's between VF and XF it could be in the $100-$125 range.
These are tough to grade because they are so small.
If it's XF $150?

 

She looks authentic to me. And in right nice shape for a lady her age. I would be proud to own her.

 

I was worried about the inconsistent denticles around the rim. long on one side shortening to not much on the other side.

I'm looking on upgrading from a G-8ish version.

 

I did notice the denticles. I thought it might be the strike pattern and wear,
again, considering how small these coins are.
I was not aware these half dimes were being counterfeited.
But anything goes in the 21st century I guess.

 

Whats going on around the date. Die crack at 5 o/c. Nice coin. Not to shabby. Cant help ya with grade. Sorry. Keep us posted.

 

Yeah i see that. Reverse also

 

Authentic. Nice coin.

 

I took a look at a bunch of pics on PCGS and other website. They had the same problem/look.

 

It's on it's way to me now.
Soon to be send to the black hole of my collection.

 

Ooh the coin abyss.

 

Do you think the E in states is dirt. I hope so. I like the a's on the reverse. Those crazy craftsmen

 

Send pictures of the 3 when you get it. Lucky u. @Clawcoins

 

yeah the As are oddly shaped. The E looks like damage but won't know until it's in hand.

The 3?

will do with the pictures. But I'll make sure they are blurry and too small.

 

That's the magic of Bigfoot. Blurry photos.

 

I didn't see anything that jumped out as fake when I first saw the pics. I looked in my copy of Federal Half Dimes by Logan and McCloskey (1998 edition) and your coin looks like it might be Large 5C LM-7. They list this die marriage as R-4 Rare. On pic in their book, the denticles on the obv look similar to yours. The rev denticles look long and narrow and are weakest in the 1 o'clock area (but yours are weaker).

Not my area of expertise, but I think it's authentic

 

Rread post 2. About my 3 question

 

guess we'll find out when I receive it.

Assuming Big Foot doesn't intercept and steal it.

 

Looks cleaned to me.
