1838 No Drapery Half Dime, MS67+
Large Stars, Vividly Toned
Ex: Pogue, CAC Approved

1838 H10C Large Stars, No Drapery, MS67+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Pogue-Bender. The Philadelphia Mint introduced border stars to the Seated Liberty half dime in 1838, creating variants with both Large Stars and Small Stars. The Small Stars issue is scarce in Mint State and unknown at the Superb Gem level, while the Large Stars coin is collectible in MS67, albeit rare at that level.

The former Pogue coin is on the doorstep of the Condition Census, and may be considered a Condition Census example by many series specialists who will recognize its outstanding quality. Beautiful original luster glistens across unabraded surfaces, illuminating vivid orange-gold, violet, and ocean-blue toning. The strike is sharp, and eye appeal is simply outstanding. The reverse is rotated slightly clockwise, as usual for this issue. An ideal Registry coin. Population: 9 in 67 (2 in 67+), 3 finer. CAC: 10 in 67, 2 finer (5/23).
