Description
1797 Half Dime, XF45+
13 Stars, V-1, LM-4
Challenging Guide Book Variety
1797 H10C 13 Stars, V-1, LM-4, R.5, XF45+ NGC. The LM-4
variety ranks among the scarcest of four 1797 die pairs and is the
only variety with two large 7s in the date. It is also the only
1797 half dime variety with 13 stars -- the other three varieties
have either 15 or 16 stars. On the reverse, the wreath displays 11
berries in a five inner berries, six outer berries arrangement,
also exclusive to the LM-4 variety. All of the other 1797 varieties
have but three berries. This is a high-end, Choice XF example with
the NGC Plus designation. The coin is sharply struck with smooth,
slightly glossy surfaces. Minor obverse die clashing is seen, as
usual for this early half dime issue. High-point wear is minimal
for the grade, with the eagle well-defined and sharp definition
throughout the obverse elements. Pleasing bluish-gray toning allows
bits of silver luster to shine through. This coin certainly ranks
among the finest LM-4 examples known. Census: 1 in 45+, 3 finer
(10/23).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 38600, Base PCGS# 4260)
Weight: 1.35 grams
Metal: 89.24% Silver, 10.76% Copper
