Not Sold Description
1794 Half Dime, MS64+
V-3, LM-3, Splendidly Toned
1794 H10C V-3, LM-3, R.4, MS64+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Friend. A
truly spectacular near-Gem that would be a standout within any
first-year type set. Beautiful red and peach-gold toning surround
the peripheries, while the obverse center remains brilliant. The
central reverse displays consistent pastel powder-blue patina. The
strike is crisp on the portrait, while the eagle's belly and right
(facing) leg shows minor inexactness. Die cracks diagnostic for the
1794 LM-3 traverse are evident on both sides, though the crack near
the left wingtip is nascent relative to its eventual bold
horizontal progression across the reverse. A 2006 auction catalog
appearance states the coin is "as lovely a 1794 half dime as we can
recall seeing."Ex: John Howland Collection; James Kelly, 7/1940; Dr. Angus C. Black Collection; 61st Sale (New Netherlands, 6/1970), lot 200; New York Connoisseur's Collection (American Numismatic Rarities, 3/2006), lot 477.
