The US Half Dimes were coined at the Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco Mints from 1794 to 1873
The only difference is the mintmark and the fact they were made at different Mints.
Because the value of it is worth half the value of a dime.
Yes, a nickel is half a dime!
Half a dime could be represented using the chemical symbol for silver, which is Ag. Dimes in the United States are made from a blend of 90% silver and 10% copper, so half a dime would contain approximately half the amount of silver, hence the symbol Ag.
Half dimes were not made in 1913. 1873 was the last year of minting.
The US discontinued its half-dime denomination in 1873.
The British didn't make a half dime.
The last half dime was 1873. If you mean a half dollar it's worth about $4.00
11centsThe joke answer is 5.5 cents (half of a cent and half of a dime) but if the dime half is actually silver and not copper-nickel would be worth about $2, IF you could separate the pieces.It's actually a novelty item made by cutting a dime and a penny in half and joining the sides of each. It's very similar to a two-headed or two-tailed magician's coin made using the same techniques.
Early and bust half dimes never had mintmarks. For seated liberty half dimes they appear in a variety of places. Between 1838-1859 and part of 1875 it will be in the wreath below "HALF DIME" on the back(tails) of the coin. Between 1860-1869 and from 1972-1873 it will be below the wreath on the back.
Please check again. Half-dime production ended in 1873.
Nope. You have a novelty item made by cutting apart a penny and a dime, then hollowing out the back of the penny and popping the dime-half into it like the lid on a sandwich box.
