<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 8508208, member: 101855"]The With Stars piece might be more popular, but the No Stars type is more historic as the first Seated Liberty half dime. In high grade, it is sharper than the with stars design. As Gobrecht added more features (stars), the sharpness faded a bit. Some collectors like to call them "baby Gobrechts" (Small version of the dollar). </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1504757[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
