Splendid 1795 Half Dime, V-6, LM-9, AU58

1795 H10C AU58 PCGS. V-6, LM-9, R.4. Star 1 is mostly between curls 2 and 3, but a point is below the second curl. On the reverse, there is one inner berry below the eagle's wings. Flashy luster accents the lightly abraded surfaces. Delicate adjustment marks are noted on the lower reverse. Wafts of tan and purple toning accent the mostly silver-gray patina. The centers are a touch soft, as typical. A lovely example of this scarce early half dime.(Registry values: P4)
