If you see the one that is buy it now for $8500, there is rim damage on the front and back. Also look at the 7, appears to be to much silver buildup in that area. There are to many raised areas on that coin and I am afraid that it is one of the many 40 year old counterfeits. Not to mention the fact that it has been cleaned. Just look at he eagles wings all built up, it appears that this one was not caught by the grading service. Buildup occurs when the coins are cast from a mold.

I stand by my estimation of AU-53 for Neil....... It is a much nicer coin than this slabbed ebay unknown. Not to mention Neils is a "rare coin" allowing grading to even be a little more forgiving. :laughing7: AU-55 or better?

Re: 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dime! UPDATED PHOTOS!!!

Neil, I saw your post over on dfxonly when I returned there last week (rookie 90 days in the Big Trok during winter--plus winter itself--had
me on a regrettable 3-month hiatus from dfx and T-net). I knew it was an unbelievable find, and that spurred me to get back on here as well--knowing there'd *have* to be a big write-up.
[Side Note: This past week, I drove from Michigan thru mid-PA, lower NY, CT, into MA, *never been to CT and MA before*, and of course bringing along the DFX would be pointless.. no time.. I get out to God's Colonial Country and can't do a damn thing]
/whine/rant Off.

You've been a great help to all of us on dfxonly, and I know you're a big-leaguer here, and THIS COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A NICER GUY!

Even with my meager knowledge of U.S. coins, I knew how stellar a find this was! I hope this coin warms the cockles of your 'eart for many years to come, Buddy! Way beyond Great for me just to get to lay eyes on it... Stupendous!!

The photos show how the coin looked when it was dug. The only thing done to the coin was that it was placed in distilled water to reduce the risk of the loose sand scratching it. It can definitely use some conservation. The estimated cost for the conservation and preservation of the coin is $450-$600.
