Thank you for the link, Mark.

And thank you for your original post, Conder101. 

Glad it wasn't me who made the thread in2016 

Has been collecting seated half dimes for a while, but never questioned about the co-existance of nickels and halh dimes until recently.

 And they shouldn't have much difficulty with Proof coins, since they would be providing a grade range of 60-70

I should have read more carefully. I thought they were giving more specific grades.

Telling authentiticity just from images provided by eBay sellers? 

Grading proof coins from images? 

I hope this service won't cause troubles between NGC and their customers.

Does anyone know the reason why US mint made both half dimes and nickles from 1866 to 1873 and eventually stopped minting half dimes in 1873?

They also minted both 3CSs and 3CNs from 1865 to 1873.

 If a coin is graded too conservatively, it can be resubmitted over and over again and can eventually go up in grade. But if a coin is graded too loosely, odds are extremely good that it will not go down in grade. So I believe that grade-flation will continue.

I had a chance to ask someone view 2 seated half dimes from Heritage auction recently. Ther person who viewed 2 coins for me said they were pretty, but didn't agree with the assinged grades. If gradeflation continues, do I have to adjust to the "new" grading standards? Otherwise, I'll keep losing my bids on pretty coins 

Is gradeflation still going on or did it stop at some point?

Seated half dimes because they are cute and affordable (exept for 1870-S)

I also like seated coins of other denominations, but many of them are out of my budget.

I am new to the forums so if this is in the wrong place feel free to direct me elsewhere. 

I love to metal detect and I found this item recently. I have done a little research and think it may be a hammered lead coin (the weight sure feels like lead). Any help with this would be great.

The loop looks modern and the hole is rather ragged and not cut straight.

Nice find, but I don't know what it is.

Maybe you'll get more response by making a new thread on "US, World and Ancient Coins" forum.

Hello

The letters on woman's side read  "Yang Guifei"   and the other side reads like  "One of the four famous beauties from ancient China"

I don't know when and who made the medal, though.

Thanks!

Not valuable, but I'm pretty much happy with my NEWPS.  Images are taken by the seller.

From a local coin show.

Both are Japanese 10 sen.

Thank you, Elbesaar.

This is the first time in 7 years I bought a barber coin.

Next time, I hope to post on this thread within 6 years

I got a Barber coinage for the first time in years today from Mr. Feld.

It's not as golden as image shows. I like my newps. Barber halves are cool.

Wow, fantastic collection

All look great, but those blue rim toned halves look especially nice.

I also like your 1912 very much.

I'm not familiar with the name on the labels, but is it you?

I have a few more seated dime

My last 1891..............

How about 1890?

Cool looking coin, Boiler : (thumbs u

Wish I could also "afford" it

Thank you. That one is approved by Mr. Feld
