Description
Rare 1794 Half Dime, V-1, LM-1, Choice Very Good
1794 H10C VG10 PCGS. V-1, LM-1, R.6. A wide date identifies the obverse while two inner berries on the branch under the left wing are diagnostic for the reverse. This is a rare die marriage of the first regular issue half dime. Gunmetal-gray patina encircles the pale, lightly colored devices. On the reverse, STATES is unevenly worn, but the rest of the surfaces are smooth and relatively clean. A couple of shallow scratches on the obverse are the only mentionable marks. It is believed that a total of just 7,756 1794-dated half dimes were minted, and LM-1 is considered the rarest variety. An excellent opportunity for the collector.(Registry values: P6)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22ZT, PCGS# 4250, Greysheet# 3717)
