Description
1837 Half Dime, XF Sharpness
V-5, LM-3, R.6
1837 H10C Large 5C--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. XF Details.
V-5, LM-3, R.6. The 3 in the date is well below both the adjacent 8
and 7. Star 12 is boldly repunched, and several die lines extend
into the left obverse field from Liberty's mouth. On the reverse,
the C in AMERICA shows noticeable recutting, and R and I are
distant. According to the Logan-McCloskey reference, David J. Davis
discovered this very rare die pairing in 1975, and John McCloskey
described it in Coin World Nov. 21, 1984.The surfaces are a bit bright on this coin from an old cleaning, but it is retoning nicely, with glints of gold at the rims on each side. Every example known, including the present coin, is very flatly struck in the central reverse. The border details on both sides and elsewhere are pleasing and bold. Another rare variety for the Capped Bust specialists.
Ex: Tarheel Coins, North Carolina (7/1985).
