May be a one of a kind coin. I haven't been able to find another example of it anywhere yet. This 1843 Half Dime weighs 2.2grams and suppose to weigh 1.34 grams. The Die Cud covers 98% of the reverse and doesn't have a transfer image. The Obverse has Die Cud error also. It appears to be a Catastrophic Die Cud (Break) error on both sides. I do not believe that the Obverse is worn but that is my opinion as I have not had it graded yet. This coin is part of my small collection I inherited from my Father. These coins were collected 40+ years ago. I am in the process of re-packaging these coins into new coin mounts as the old ones are brittle and yellowing. While I've been doing this I have been examining them closely and have found errors on many of them. I don't believe they have ever been cleaned, at least since my Father bought them. All I am doing is using a soft sham to wipe off gently any oils that might transfer from my fingers. Then taking pictures and putting them in the new case. I am in the process of buying a coin magnifier but at the present I am using my phone with a magnifier app. The original holder said this was a 1847 Dime and I had a hard time finding it until I finally figured out it was a 1843 half dime. In any case, thank you for visiting my page and let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
