Description
1795 Half Dime, Toned XF45
Scarce V-8, LM-7 Variety
1795 H10C V-8, LM-7, R.6, XF45 NGC. The obverse die was only
used to strike this rare variety, since a bisecting die crack
formed early from the left side of the T in LIBERTY, down through
Liberty's hair and to the rim through the lowest curl. Most, if not
all specimens show this crack. If an early, unbroken die state
exists, it is extremely elusive. Some examples, including the
present one, show adjustment marks, although here they are light
and noticeable only with a loupe. The reverse die remained unbroken
through its first two marriages to create the V-7, LM-6 and this
variety, then the common V-5, LM-8 where the reverse die finally
cracked and was replaced. Remarkably, every single 1795 half dime
obverse die is known with severe die cracks, and most of the
reverses too: the dies were worked until they fell apart with die
cracks or cuds. This example shows pleasing russet and aqua toning
on the obverse, with deep silver-gray reverse toning.Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 1623.
