SEATED HALF DIMES

Seated half dimes are one of our favorite specialties.  We recently acquired one of the finest known 1839-O Rev. of 1838-O (an R6 variety)!  We have 1838-O, 1853 No Arrows, a PCGS-slabbed 1860 with gorgeous toning, and all of these business strikes: 1863, 1864, 1866, 1867, 1868 and 1869.  Please offer us any 1853-O No Arrows and non-proof 1863 through 1867 half dimes.  And call us if you find an 1870-S!
