Description
1795 Half Dime, V-5, LM-8, MS64+
Sharp, Mostly Prooflike Fields
1795 H10C V-5, LM-8, R.3, MS64+ PCGS. No berries under the
wings. The fields are mostly prooflike with razor-sharp definition
on the raised elements all but curls 1 and 2 of Liberty's hair
strands. Far above-average feather details on the eagle's breast
trumps the inevitable strike weakness on the left (facing) wing
where it crosses the wreath. Areas of russet, blue, and deep
olive-gray toning coexist with lustrous silver and golden-gray
central patina.As often seen on the early half dimes, planchet adjustment marks are not fully struck out at the left and bottom obverse border and across a portion of Liberty's portrait. The coin is struck from a middle state of the LM-8 dies, with a diagnostic die crack that travels from the Y in LIBERTY, through the face, to the 7 in the date. Traces of rainbow iridescence remain above the date. This is the sole Plus-graded MS64 example at PCGS regardless of variety. Population (all varieties): 24 in 64 (1 in 64+), 25 finer (10/16).
