Description
1795 Half Dime, V-4, LM-10, MS64+
Outstanding Surfaces, Late Die State
1795 H10C V-4, LM-10, R.3, MS64+ PCGS. The LM-10 dies
clashed and cracked early in their usage. Later, the obverse was
heavily lapped to remove the clash marks, weakening the stars in
the process, and a heavy rim cud developed along the top of TY and
star 9. Eight obverse and five reverse dies were used for
1795-dated half dime coinage, comprising 10 different die pairs.
The number of dies needed for coinage was high due to the steel
being prone to breakage; in 1795, the Mint had yet to perfect its
die-making process. In addition to the failure of the LM-10
obverse, the obverses of LM-1 through LM-3 and LM-7 through LM-9
all developed bisecting or nearly bisecting terminal die cracks,
while the LM-4 through LM-6 obverse dies developed peripheral
cracks and/or rim cuds.This high-end Choice LM-10 coin is just as suitable as a Flowing Hair type coin as it is a representative of the late die state of this variety. Satiny luster cast in warm lavender and champagne toning is highly appealing, but the hallmark of this piece is the remarkably sharp strike, showing almost no weakness on Liberty's lower hair curls or the eagle's wings. Even the eagle's head is intricately detailed. Complete border dentils are visible on each side.
