More Half Dime pics

[keithdagen]

Bought these at a show today, the scans do not capture the color on either. Traded a 1917 63FH Type 1 SLQ and a 1920 64 SLQ + a little cash for the both.

Great colors!!

I was searching half dimes with that kind of toning at ANA show in N.Y and couldn't find any.

Congrats

And wise decision, too

The toning on the reverse of the second looks nice. Seated coins so often come with really nice color. It sucks that the obverse design wasn't better.

The reverse of the first, and both sides of the second, look like the reverse of the second color-wise. The 1871 is seated in the holder at a bad angle, and made scanning impossible. I can't get the 1838 at an angle that will capture the colors.

 

Both coins are AU-58's, but the 1838 has no visible wear, even at 10x magnification. PCGS missed the boat on this piece, and I paid MS-61 money for it without a problem. The 1871 was not priced at much of a premium to the grade, and only cost me a few dollars more than an 1872-S in 58 I got several months back. Both coins were at Win Carner's table and were from a fresh batch of toned stuff he just got back from the services this week.
