1795 V-4, LM-10 Half Dime, MS63
Lustrous Survivor; Cud Over TY

1795 H10C V-4, LM-10, R.3, MS63 NGC. Silver and steel-gray surfaces are speckled with russet-brown on the obverse, creating a very original and attractive patina. Luster is strong, as is the strike, with the left wing and lowest curls displaying the only notable weakness. Abrasions are nearly nonexistent. The LM-10 is the final and most available die marriage of a year that contains seven very rare die marriages and three that comprise most of the surviving population. It can be easily identified by the presence of one outer berry and no inner berries under the wings, a feature that is found on no other reverse dies of the year, and on a die that is found on no other die marriages of the year. The present offering is a late die state, with the characteristic cud over TY and star 9 that can also identify the die marriage at a glance when present.
From The Brittany Legacy Collection, Part III.
