1795 Half Dime, V-4, LM-10, MS64+
Outstanding Surfaces, Late Die State

1795 H10C V-4, LM-10, R.3, MS64+ PCGS. CAC. Lightly toned in shades of lilac-gray and gold, this lustrous and high-end near-Gem Uncirculated half dime is a picture-perfect example of the V-4, LM-10 late die state. Spindly stars surround Liberty's sharply struck portrait, especially stars 1 and 13 that show clear signs of lapping to remove die clashing and are abnormally thin as a result. A heavy die cud occupies the top-right rim above TY of LIBERTY and star 9. Essentially mark-free, satin-smooth surfaces coruscate and display excellent eye appeal. The eagle's head is sharp and well-defined, as are most of the leg feathers. The eagles breast feathers are less sharp, as always for this Choice 1795 half dime. The PCGS Plus designation and CAC endorsement confirm the coin's high quality. Population (all 10 1795 varieties combined): 5 in 64+, 28 finer. CAC: 11 in 64, 14 finer (6/23).
