So are we sure it's real?

It's real. It even has exactly the same die crack as the one shown on the link to Stacks.

Neil, I truly am jealous... I managed a completely smooth copper, an 1886 IH, a nice mold cast early flower button and a few other buttons. That coin is truly spectacular, best condition of any coin I've seen our club members find. $2k plus find means you're sitting out the rest of the year right?? LOL!! Its also nice to see you and I on the banner together, DVRR is gonna kill it this year!! Stellar find, Gonna be seriously hard to ever beat....

Re: 1795 Half Dime! This is what it's all about!!!

Neil !!!! WTG guy It appears your coin is not one of the most two commonly found varieties, which is even better!! I think it matches the one on this link at Stacks. A LM-3 variety, the die crack seems to be a match, don't even think I have to bother looking at the rest of the features to confirm and do have a post out on a coin forum that should get verification sooner or later. But Stacks had it as a Rarity 5 in 2007, so it might still be in the Rare category$$$$.
Can't get much better than finding a Rare variety of a Rare coin!!

Thanks everyone for your kind replies! 12 hours later and I am still in disbelief!

Don, as far as I can see, the coin does not appear to be very porous as some of my other lower silver content coins have looked. I have an 1851 Three Cent Piece that DOES appear a bit porous so I know what you meant.

That die crack is a dead giveaway to the variety....Needless to say I am glad it is not one of the more common varieties, but I would have been happy with one of those varieties just as well.

You can guess what my wife said when I told her the approximate value on a coin like this. She does not understand why I am not interested in selling it.

I am going to try to get some sleep tonight, but I have a feeling it is going to be a night of twisting and turning.
