Description

1795 Half Dime, VF30
V-5, LM-8, Problem-Free

1795 H10C V-5, LM-8, R.3, VF30 PCGS. Pearl-white high points contrasts with gunmetal-gray fields. A midgrade representative of this early and short-lived type. No abrasions are consequential, although minor adjustment marks are present near the left (facing) wing. Ten die marriages divide a Guide Book mintage of 78,660 pieces. LM-8 is normally distinctive for a Y-shaped die crack up from Liberty's nose, but that crack is faint on the present piece.
