Icing at the end of a big day.

 

Surprise, surprise, I participated in Heritage's fourth installment of their sale of the Gardner collection on Wednesday. I was fortunate to get four nice coins in the main afternoon session. I'll write more about those coins later.

 

Wednesday evening saw an internet-only session of some of Gardner's lesser coins, many of which are quite nice. I had my eye on two of the half dimes: an 1843 V-4 with shattered reverse and an 1844 with repunched date. The latter sold for almost twice what I was willing to pay, but the former will soon arrive at my door.

 

As I have written before, I have taken up the pursuit of interesting varieties of Liberty Seated Half Dimes. The shattered reverse 1843 is in that category. The present example resides in a PCGS holder, graded MS 63. The reverse is pictured below.

 

BOLO for Parts 3 and 4...

That coin is really cool! Congratulations on a very successful auction! In those days, the Philadelphia Mint really did use the dies until they very literally fell apart.
