I dug this 1841 half dime. Cleaned it up and looked at it with a loupe. To me it looks like there is a strange design stamped into the reverse. I can not figure out what it would have come from. Either a double die, mis-strike, or some other coins die ( wrong planchet ). Where I see it, the right upper corner of the " M " has some design connecting it between the bottom corners of the " L " and " F ". The other part of the design begins at the top of the " E " and then diagonally borders the right side of the " F ". It is clearly raised like a double die would be. Hopefully some one can figure it out. I can try to get better pics if needed.
