1830 V-1, LM-14 Half Dime, MS68
None Finer at PCGS
Ex Simpson-Bender

1830 H10C V-1, LM-14, R.3, MS68 PCGS. Ex: Simpson-Bender. The half dime denomination resumed in 1829 after an absence of more than two decades from U.S. coinage, having not been struck since 1805. This spectacular 1830 example represents the LM-14 variety, a die pair that produced a handful of remarkably high-grade circulation strikes, but none finer than this sparkling Superb Gem coin. It is, in our opinion, inarguably the finest half dime certified for the date, and one of only a half dozen half dimes to achieve the MS68 PCGS grade level for the entire Capped Bust half dime series. The lightly toned, pearlescent surfaces are needle-sharp and essentially flawless. Faint iridescence imparts colorful accents, subtle yet sublime. This is a coin worthy of the finest half dime set, bolstered by its pedigree from The Bob R. Simpson - Thomas J. Bender collections. Population: 1 in 68, 0 finer (7/22).
