Lustrous 1795 LM-8 Half Dime, MS63

1795 H10C MS63 PCGS. V-5, LM-8, R.3. Relatively few Mint State 1795 half dimes exist, and those that do survive are most apt to be examples of either LM-8 or LM-10. They are the two most plentiful die varieties, and the pieces that are most often available to type collectors. The obverse has a ring of golden-brown on the bust, with brilliant silver luster inside the ring, and pale gray outside. The reverse has smooth gray luster with hints of ivory. Reverse adjustment marks slant down to the right and left, and they are primarily visible on the eagle. This lovely half dime will undoubtedly please the connoisseur. Population: 44 in 63, 37 finer (8/08).(Registry values: P4)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22ZV, PCGS# 4251, Greysheet# 3718)
