Description: This Half Dime is struck in medal fashion instead of coin fashion. The obverse and reverse instead of being 180* apart are struck with the same die rotation! It is called a 180* error or medal strike. Rarity and Survival Estimates Survival Grades Estimate All Grades 300 60 or Better 75 65 or Better 15 The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts' opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services. Ron Guth: Production of Half Dimes at the New Orleans Mint dropped more than 40% in 1854 to a still-respectable 1,560,000 coins. Not surprisingly, the number of certified 1854-O Half Dimes is 43% less than the number of certified 1853-O Half Dimes. Most of the 1854-O Half Dimes went into circulation, but there are at least a couple hundred Mint State survivors that collectors saved for posterity. As usual, quality control at the New Orleans Mint was sub-par, and many of the 1854-O Half Dimes sport a weak strike, especially at the denticles. It is highly unlikely that a fully struck 1854-O Half Dime exists at all. The best example is a single PCGS 67.
