"EF40 Details - Mount Removed/Altered Surfaces LM-10" Pleasing lighter silver color with VF-XF detail in our opinion. The surfaces are porous, though the detail is all clear. There is a larger chunk of solder visible at 12:00 on the obverse, and 6:00 on the reverse where a mount was removed, as this was most likely attached to a necklace decades ago. There is also a scrape at the top of Miss Liberty's head. A very rare, low mintage early Half Dime that, despite the problems, has nice detail and priced at a huge discount off the $4,250 Greysheet price for an XF40! Greysheet is $2,300 in VF20 and even $1,750 in F12!

"F12 Details - Corroded" Very dark brown color with heavy corrosion on both sides. The majority of the detail is still clear, though a bit weak in parts. Greysheet is $400 in F12!

"F12 Details - Corroded/Bent" Slightly deeper brown color with heavy porosity on the obverse along with some scattered corrosion pits. Reverse has traces of minor porosity along with a couple of small, green corrosion spots at the top. Looks more like a sharp VG in detail, though the heavy obverse porosity disrupts some of the detail. A scarce year and bargain priced below G4 Greysheet!

"AU Detail - Environmental Damage" This scarce issue has old cleaning giving it a lustrous look. There are some darker areas on both sides with a small maroon corrosion patch on the reverse rim from 3:00 to 4:00. Lots of detail for the price and still has a nice look and priced at a VF level!

"AU Detail - Corrosion Removed" Pleasing light to medium brown color with a trace of luster remaining on part of the obverse rim. The obverse has some porosity on the lower 1/4 of the coin, which makes the date weak, while reverse has some darker areas on some of the lettering. Lots of detail for the price on this scarce Hawaii Cent!

"AU Detail - Environmental Damage" Obverse has attractive, slightly deeper brown color with a touch of corrosion around the date area and traces of luster remaining around the peripheries. Reverse is a lovely warm brown color with some luster around the peripheries and some dark brown areas in the center and top. There is a maroon corrosion patch at the top of the obverse at 12:00. Lots of detail for the price on this scarce issue. Greysheet is $500 in AU and $425 in XF! This one is priced right above F12 Greysheet!

"AU Detail - Environmental Damage" Obverse has medium brown color on both sides with some maroon coloring in the left obverse field and parts of the portrait, and a dark spot in the right obverse field. The reverse has pleasing medium brown color with no problems. A big discount on this scarce issue and priced well below the $500 Greysheet price for an AU!

"AU Detail - Rim Damage" Pleasing medium brown color with a couple darker areas on each side. There are a number of little edge nicks mainly around the left obverse rim area, along with a couple larger edge nicks on the reverse around 4:00 to 5:00. Greysheet is $500 in AU, and this one is priced under VF Greysheet!

"XF Detail - Environmental Damage" Pleasing, even medium brown color with somewhat porous surfaces on both sides. There are two old, thin scratches in the left obverse field noted for accuracy. All detail is sharp and coin still has a nice look! Priced at about half of Greysheet!

"XF Detail - Exc. Corrosion" Dark brown color on both sides with a maroon corrosion patch along the right rim of both sides. There is also some lighter corrosion in the fields of both sides that blend well with the deep brown surfaces. Greysheet is $425 in XF40!

Both sides have attractive gold toning with lustrous surfaces. Coin is well struck and has nice eye appeal. There are a few pinpoint nicks on the upper cheek that keep it from a higher grade, though the rest of the coin is very clean for the grade! We don't often see this rare date in this uncirculated condition!
