Description
Scarce V-2, LM-3 1803 Half Dime
Attractively Toned MS61
1803 H10C Large 8 MS61 NGC. V-2, LM-3, R.3. Technically the
most accessible of three 1803 half dime die pairs, though still
scarce regardless of grade and a great rarity in Mint State. Intact
luster glimmers under layers of gold, green, and blue patina with a
patch of peach at the central reverse. The strike is excellent, and
aside from miscellaneous wispy marks and a rim bump at the upper
obverse, the preservation is solid. Among the most eye-appealing
examples available for this challenging date, followed by the 1805
and then a long gap until the 1829 Capped Bust variant. For all
1803 die pairs combined, Census: 3 in 61, 6 finer (1/12).(Registry values: P7)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2329, PCGS# 4269, Greysheet# 3728)
Weight: 1.35 grams
Metal: 89.24% Silver, 10.76% Copper
