<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DippityDoo, post: 2231384, member: 75707&quot;]I&#039;m sorry to be mysterious.&nbsp; I&#039;m just interested in people&#039;s reaction to this coin which, when I posted it, I knew was a rarity. The coin is such a mess. How could it really be graded?&nbsp; Grade is the bottom, okay, but it&#039;s still what it is... how do you value it?</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was purchased from a San Francisco dealer in the early 1990s and I believe that it is real.&nbsp; The dealer is still working.&nbsp; I have come to the coin through a family connection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have read that there is a &quot;fourteen worst 1802 half dimes&quot; essay in the main half dime reference book. Unfortunately a copy of that out-of-print book costs $250, an amount I&#039;m unwilling to spill considering that it may not help me at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
