Description

1795 Half Dime, Remarkable MS64
V-4, LM-10, Latest Die State

1795 H10C V-4, LM-10, R.3, MS64 PCGS. Late Die State. This latest state shows a pronounced die cud above T, Y, and star 9. This die pairing was part of the famed Wadsworth-Rea hoard, a group of more than 100 Mint State 1794-1795 half dimes that was discovered in the 1870s. This was a fortunate find for collectors as well as the discoverers. Of the 10 die pairings, seven are rare. Only three, LM-8, 9, and 10 (all hoard varieties) are considered common. This is a remarkable, high-grade example. The die cud must have developed fairly soon after the dies were lapped, since there is a significant presence of die polish still evident in the fields of this coin. The obverse devices are especially well-defined, and there are no large or mentionable abrasions on either side. For all 1795 varieties, Population: 34 in 64 (8 in 64+), 25 finer (6/19).
