JT2 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 thats a good looking 1/2 dime...... did you have a suspect why it wouldn't straight grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I'd give this nice coin a grade range of AU 55-58, as there is very light wear on the high points on both sides. A few days ago, I posted a photo of my 1838 graded MS 65 on the "Post Your 5 Cent Pieces" topic. I like the "No Drapery" half dimes, dimes, and quarters, which feature Gobrecht's original Liberty Seated design concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 EF or possibly a real AU depending on amount of abrasion. The photo does not seem to show anything that would prevent normal grading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoL Not quite.... but there is a clash mark on the M of Dime on the reverse. I think it adds a little extra to a already nice piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenntucky Mike Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I think I'm probably going to be low but I'll say 58. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandon Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I was close on this one at AU 55-58, perhaps because I own a high grade (MS 65) 1838 and know what the high point details look like on a truly uncirculated coin of this (1837-40) design. As I recall, in 1980, when the ANACS certificate was issued, the only widely recognized AU numerical grades were 50 (typical) and 55 (choice), with 55 usually being the equivalent of "58" or (unfortunately) sometimes low mint state today. The "55" grade is correct by today's standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkerfan Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I'd have said AU 58. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
