Description
1829 Half Dime, Semiprooflike MS67 ★
Rare V-11, LM-9 Variety, Likely Finest Known
1829 H10C V-11, LM-9, R.5, MS67 ★ NGC. LM-9 is rare in this
condition, and the present piece is almost certainly the finest
known. It is also among the few finest 1829 half dimes across all
die varieties. Struck from an early die state, the fields retain
substantial reflectivity, which complements the frosted luster of
the devices. Neither side is toned in the least. Trivial strike
weakness is seen only on the central-most hair curls of Liberty's
neck and the inner part of the eagle's left (facing) wing, which is
typical of the Capped Bust type. Abrasions are virtually
nonexistent. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire not
only one of the finest 1829 half dimes known, but also likely the
finest example of a rare die variety. Census: 6 in 67 (1 in 67 ★ ),
0 finer (9/18).Ex: Summer FUN Signature (Heritage, 7/2010), lot 3432, which realized $8,625.
