Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2665227, member: 19250"]Going through some of my little gems today I ran across this 1848 Half Dime. I had purchased it awhile back and as both work and family issues has had me tied up never looked at it as close as today.This is a 1848 medium date half dime, on the reverse there's a bisecting die crack Through the "C" in America heading NW towards the wreath ,catching the bottom of the "E" in dime. Under both feet of the "H" ,through the wreath ,and under the "E" in United. This is the second Bisecting die crack I've found in this series.Byt wait there's more.... take a look at my images of the area under the ! in 1840 It looks to be the top part of the" Ones" shaft, and the flag , peeking out of the denticles.It is raised metal not a stain, not a chip. And it's doubled punched![ATTACH=full]592101[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]592103[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]592104[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]592105[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]592107[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]592108[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]592109[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
