Description
1805 V-1, LM-1 Half Dime, XF40
Scarce Final-Year Draped Bust Issue
Gold CAC
1805 H10C V-1, LM-1, R.4, XF40 PCGS. Gold CAC. A single die
pair is responsible for the entire 15,600-piece 1805 half dime
mintage. This is a nearly brilliant, lightly circulated example
with fleeting tan-gold accents on predominantly brilliant,
silver-white surfaces. Traces of reflectivity appear throughout the
minimally marked fields. As usual, the strike weakens at Liberty's
bust and also near the right (facing) wingtip on the reverse. The
1805 half dime represents the final appearance of the Heraldic
Eagle reverse and the last half dime issue altogether until 1829
and the Capped Bust half dime series. Only the famous 1802 half
dime is rarer than the 1805 issue in the Draped Bust series. This
example displays the seldom-seen CAC gold label, indicating this
coin exceeds CAC's expectations for the grade and guarantees to
cross at least a numerical grade higher than stated on the existing
holder. Population: 6 in 40, 16 finer. Gold CAC: 1 in 40, 0 finer
(2/25).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 232A, Variety PCGS# 38611, Base PCGS# 4272)
