1805 Bust Half Dime, AU53, V-1, LM-1
One of the Finer Examples Known
1805 H10C AU53 PCGS. CAC. V-1, LM-1, R.4. Ex: Pittman. A
single die pair, designated as V-1 and LM-1, produced all 1805 half
dimes. When the present piece appeared in the first Pittman sale,
it was graded by Akers as Choice AU, and described as "certainly in
the condition census for the date, possibly even the second or
third finest known." Richly toned in golden-brown, apple-green, and
rose colors. A few minor marks are noted but do not challenge the
eye appeal. Portions of the shield and the right wingtip are not
fully struck, other areas of the design have strong definition. A
rare opportunity to obtain one of the finest examples of this
difficult and underappreciated date.Ex: David Bullowa (5/1952), lot 1021, which realized $88; John Jay Pittman Collection, Part One (David Akers, 10/1997), lot 430, which realized $14,300; ANA Signature (Heritage, 7/2005), lot 3108.(Registry values: P7)
