Description
Impressive 1795 Half Dime
MS62, V-5, LM-8
1795 H10C MS62 PCGS. V-5, LM-8, R.3. Most easily attributed
by the lack of berries around the lower left portion of the wreath
and the relative position of the lowest outside left leaf relative
to the U in UNITED. The die crack through the Y in LIBERTY,
familiar to specialists, also confirms this die pairing. Among the
finest known examples of this variety is the MS67 Prooflike piece
we sold in our November 2006 Dallas Signature. The present example
has striking details that are less well defined as that coin, with
some weakness evident in the center of each side. Brilliant
throughout, the surfaces show satin-like mint luster, and there are
surprisingly few abrasions on either side.From The Menlo Park Collection.(Registry values: P4)
