Description
1797 Half Dime, Attractive AU55
15 Stars, V-2, LM-1
1797 H10C 15 Stars, V-2, LM-1, R.3, AU55 PCGS. 30th
Anniversary Green Label Holder. Three obverses were used for the
1797 half dimes, each with a different number of stars. Obverse 1
has 15 stars arranged 8x7 and must have been produced before
Tennessee joined the Union in the summer of 1796. Reverse C is the
only die with an outer berry between NI. The V-2, LM-1 die marriage
is the usually seen variety for the year. The Logan-McCloskey
reference plays up the issue's availability in high grades, writing
that it is the "least difficult to obtain in mint state." In
reality, comparable Choice AU examples are conditionally rare, and
only a handful of finer pieces are known -- possibly 30
Uncirculated coins.The eye appeal of this early half dime is superb. The obverse has iridescent gold, violet, and blue patina, while the reverse shows steel-gray motifs against gunmetal fields, establishing a circulated cameo effect. The strike is exceedingly bold everywhere except the eagle's breast, as usual. Smooth with few overt distractions. Population: 16 in 55, 28 finer (6/17).
