<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2188655, member: 19250&quot;]Once again here is the latter part of the U.S. Half Dimes, The Seated Liberty series. This series is made up of 4 types /varieties, #1 No star on Obv.{1837-1838} #2 Stars on the Obv. {1838-1853} #3 Arrow at date {1853-1855} Variety #2 resumed {1856-1859} #4 Legend on Obverse {1860-1873} This was the first 5 cent coin in the U.S. to bear a mint mark. As most of the coins were struck in Philadelphia they were not marked, however coins minted in 1841,1842,1844,1848,1849,1850,1851,1852,1853*no arrows,1853 * arrows,1854,1855,1856,1857,1858,1859,1860, were also minted in New Orleans. In 1863,1864,1865,1866, 1867,1868,1869,[1870**] ,1871,1872* ,and 1873&nbsp; were struck again in Philadelphia,and in San Francisco.1872 had a change of the mint mark both above the bow and below the bow. </p><p>&nbsp;The 1860&#039;s for the most part are your key dates in this series. Most struck after 1862 were in the ten&#039;s of thousands,or less*, not in the million plus mintage&#039;s. There are a few exceptions 1871 &amp; 72 over a million plus minted. </p><p>Again this series strikes my fancy due to the varieties it has to offer, plus the fact that it was changed so much during its production time into 5 types as listed above. </p><p>To complete this series would be a real task. However it has enough Varieties and types to keep you interested even through filling ever hole is just about next to impossible,unless you have a unlimited coin budget!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Ok let&#039;s see some of your Seated Liberty Half Dimes Post them if ya got them.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
