Description
1796/5 Half Dime, MS60
Rare V-2, LM-2 Die Marriage
1796/5 H10C V-2, LM-2, R.6, MS60 NGC. The overdate gets
little emphasis in the Logan-McCloskey reference, in part because
it disappears on lower-graded coins. Here, the underdigit 5 is bold
beneath the primary 6. The peripheries of this example are sharp
and prooflike, while the central motifs are weak in the centers. A
group of adjustment marks in the center of the reverse is the
likely culprit, limiting the strike both on the reverse and at
Liberty's mid-to-upper hair strands.Faint wisps of reddish-gold toning at the margins frame silver-gray centers of this Mint State coin. LM-2 is normally seen well-circulated, and we seldom offer Uncirculated representatives of the variety. This one shows only a few non-Mint-related abrasions and retains plentiful eye appeal. Struck from a late die state, with a long die crack that heads south from the second T in STATES. The LM-2 variety is by far the scarcest of the two 1796 die marriages.
