Description
1797 Half Dime, XF40
Rare V-1, LM-4 Variety
Exceptional Quality for the Grade
1797 H10C 13 Stars, V-1, LM-4, R.5, XF40 NGC. Ex: Hilt
Collection. LM-4 is arguably the rarest of the four 1797 half dime
varieties, rivaled only by the LM-3 die marriage. Moreover, most
examples are well-circulated, with significant wear or other
impairments. High-grade examples are extremely rare, making this XF
representative an important opportunity for the early half dime
variety student. The strike is even and boldly executed, and the
level of detail over Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's body is
unusually high, even for the XF grade level. Pale gunmetal-gray
patina blankets the recesses, yielding to lighter tan-gray hues
over the relief elements. An exceptional, eye-appealing coin for
the grade, with the only discernable imperfection being a tiny rim
bump at 1 o'clock on the reverse.Early half dimes overall are sometimes encountered, but the rare varieties are seldom seen in any condition. An opportunity such as this LM-4 representative presents should not be allowed to pass by. NGC has attributed only six pieces, including two in Fine, this XF piece, two AU55 coins, and a single AU58 example (10/16).
