This is an 1801 half dime that I purchased at a local coin auction in 1999. It is the only Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle half dime that I've acquired in over fifty years of collecting. Half dimes are in my experience the hardest denomination of this design type to obtain. Although it is battered and abused, it is one of those coins that I wish could speak so that I could hear the stories it could tell, perhaps including being stepped on by a horse! I submitted it to NGC earlier this year in the hope of using it to fill some type set registry slots, but NGC concluded that it had an "altered surface" and would not grade or encapsulate it. At least I am able to share its photo here. On the plus side, NGC, sotto voce, indirectly confirmed the coin was genuine. If it were inauthentic, i.e., counterfeit, I do not believe they would, have gratuitously bestowed "altered surface," on it. PMD, notwithstanding, I very much like it. It is a nice old coin.

Popular Post Henri Charriere Posted September 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2022 Gentlemen, I wanted to call the race, and even had one member ahead with a nose, but I quickly realized this isn't about winning or losing, but how the game is played. Absolutely fantastic! I am going to suggest a new term be introduced into the numismatic lexicon: positively "electric!"

Is the 1925 generally found weakly struck on the reverse? I’m sorry I missed your question. Yes in most cases they are changing to locate one that’s all there, with full details. The one I’m showing you here is not such a great pic but it’s graded 66+. It’s a gorgeous coin in hand but is lacking (Full Details) but is almost all there. I find the 26 Buffs are more of a challenge than the 25. A big difference in the strike. The reverse and obverse of the 26 is most always flat, even in lofty grades.
