Description
Pastel Toned Choice 1795 Half Dime, V-6, LM-9
1795 H10C MS64 NGC. V-6, LM-9, R.4. The usual obverse die state with a bisecting die crack from the Y in LIBERTY across the portrait and through the 7 in the date. A splendid near-Gem with exquisite pastel sky-blue and caramel-gold toning. The borders are precisely struck, and the devices are also intricate aside from slight blending on the hair near the ear and the unavoidable merging of detail on the eagle's breast and front leg. Neither side has any adjustment marks, and abrasions are essentially absent as well. Prolonged study locates a faint roller mark, as made, on the portrait beneath the eye. An important opportunity for the dedicated early silver specialist. Census: 30 in 64, 19 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P4)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22ZV, PCGS# 4251, GSID# 3718)
