Select Mint State 1800 Half Dime
V-1, LM-1, Struck Twice in Collar

1800 H10C -- Struck Twice, Rotated in Collar -- MS63 NGC. V-1, LM-1, R.3. Extremely late state of the V-1 or LM-1 obverse. The denticles below the second half of the date are broken off, a die crack rises from the first zero in the date to the bottom of the bust, and in the space to the right of Liberty's neck, a "collar" die clash appears. Further complicating the appearance of this piece's struck features: it received two impressions, resulting in doubling visible on the finer details such as the stars. As a coin it is remarkably well-preserved, especially given the passage of two centuries, and the gold and blue-green toning over each side is charming.
