Description

1795 Half Dime, MS61
Scarce V-2, LM-3 Marriage

1795 H10C V-2, LM-3, R.5, MS61 NGC. A lovely ice-blue and chestnut-gold representative. This better Valentine variety is distinguished by a lengthy obverse radial crack at 12:30 and a cluster of slender die lines between the ES in STATES. Minor adjustment marks (as struck) are relegated to the left obverse margin. The strike is good despite some softness of impression near the eagle's left (facing) wingtip.
