Back in March I dug my find of a lifetime; a beautiful 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dime. I put it in a safe spot, deciding whether or not I was going to have it slabbed. Part of the problem was not knowing how it would look after conservation. Well, I decided to submit it last month, and it is in fact the rare LM-3 variety. As suspected it came back Damaged, (as most "grounders" do) with XF Details. I wish the conservation had more of an impact on the coin's appearance, but overall I am happy that I now own a certified rare US Flowing Hair Dime!

Very awesome coin but one question, is
it a half dime or half penny, you stated
it was both, half dime in your caption
and half penny in your story.

Corrected. Thanks for the heads up! (the reverse of the coin makes it easy to ID as a half dime!)
