<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2989925, member: 19250&quot;]Here&#039;s a newp for my half dime collection.&nbsp; Haven&#039;t received yet as payment was sent out Monday, so the images are the sellers. One must realize as a h-10 collector it is a collection that is doable.... but ... some mintages are so small that it is a quest that could take a lifetime to complete.&nbsp; This 1865 S is one of two listed RPD&#039;s. It iz an RPD 002&nbsp; 1865/186.&nbsp; Now the 1865 H-10 has a mintage of 13,000.</p><p>The 1865 S 120,000 minited. </p><p>Seated half dimes were minted at Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco, dates minted between 1863-1868 Philly coins are the lowest mintages,however some O and S mint marks are extremely hard to find. </p><p>This series offers the collector of varities quite a few ....</p><p>7 obv. Die changes and 3 rev. Die changes.</p><p>Several date and mint mark differences,2 over dates , repunched stars /and no stars. There are several doubled dies ,and misplaced dates that can be found in the series . These also can be noted for some fanatic clashes,and die breaks.</p><p>So if you like a series that has so much to offer for such a small coin the half dime may interest you.</p><p>* considering some mintages if this was a Morgan or Peace dollar can you imagine the value that would be placed to obtain the date or mint mark?[ATTACH=full]737332[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]737333[/ATTACH]Take notice of the reverse die crack that runs bisecting the coin&nbsp; from 11 k to 3 k.</p><p>Also take notice of the clashes seen on both obv.and rev. Especially between Lady Liberty arm and staff.</p><p>I believe the broken O in of is actually punched upside down using a broken O punch.</p><p>This specimen looks to have some other items that I will be thrilled to scope out once it hits my mail box.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
