<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DW-coins, post: 1322544, member: 33380&quot;]I bought some bullion silver coins and in it was an old seated 1873 half dollar which made me happy because I paid melt for the lot. But the coin was so well worn down that I thougt it might be worthwhile getting it graded for a low-ball coin. So I put it under the lights and photographed it so I could show a few friends and get their opinion whether it would be a good low-ball coin. While cropping the photo I suddenly see for the first time two little &quot;cc&quot; on the reverse! Further investigation shows this is the much more rare 1873 &quot;small cc&quot; variety and even in this condition is worth a couple bills. Interestingly, this variety is only found in heavily circulated condition and my coin is certainly that. If you look closely at the reverse you can see the mint marks. And in hand it&#039;s even harder but they&#039;re there! Gotta love buying a CC coin at melt! LOL!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]150242.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]150243.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
