Description
1801 Half Dime, LM-2, AU58
V-2 / Late Die State of V-1
Very Rare in High Grades
1801 H10C V-1 and V-2, LM-2, R.4, AU58 PCGS. 30th
Anniversary Green Label Holder. Although Valentine suggested two
varieties for the 1801 half dime, researchers have concluded within
the past 25 years that V-1 and V-2 are, in fact, different states
of the same die. In an article entitled "1801 Half Dimes
Revisited," published in Volume 11, Issue 3 of the John Reich
Journal, Ed Price and Jules Reiver identify eight different die
states. This nearly Uncirculated example corresponds to their Die
State g, with die crumbling from RT to star 12 and either file
marks or clash marks extending from the top of Liberty's hair.Gorgeous original surfaces are richly toned in golden-orange, steel-blue, and violet patina. Both sides are well-struck with varying areas of incompleteness, but evidence of actual rub is practically indiscernible, limited to the cheek and shoulder. The 1801 is a very rare issue in high grades. This lot should attract considerable attention. Population (all varieties): 3 in 58, 7 finer (6/17).
