Lustrous 1795 Half Dime, V-4, LM-10, AU58

1795 H10C AU58 PCGS. CAC. V-4, LM-10, R.3. There is an outer berry beneath U(NITED), while on the obverse star 1 touches the second-lowest hair curl. Star 15 touches the bust. The digits 1 and 5 touch a curl and the bust, respectively. This is an interesting coin, first off in that the reverse die is rotated almost 90 degrees clockwise with respect to the obverse. Secondly, the left-side stars 3-8 on the obverse are effaced or nearly so, due both to heavy die-adjustment marks and an apparent axial die misalignment, so that the right-side stars are well-struck. A heavy retained rim cud has formed above TY and star 9. Most of the original luster remains on this piece, with a couple of small die cracks and some minor scrapes on the lower bust.(Registry values: P4)
