Description
Rare and Important Gem 1800 Half Dime
V-1, LM-1
1800 H10C MS65 NGC. V-1, LM-1, R.3. The V-1 1800 half dime
is the most frequently encountered of the varieties known for this
date. (As a side note, a new fifth variety was recently
discovered.) A couple of dozen Mint State coins are known of this
date, but it may well be that this piece is tied for finest known
for the variety--the only contender we are aware of being the
Norweb coin. The 1800 half dime is the first year to display the
new reverse design with the heraldic eagle, and along with this
being the first year of the new century, this is an important type
coin. The obverse of this piece is better defined than the reverse
with especially strong definition on Liberty's hair. The surfaces
are light gray and evenly matched from side to side. There are
traces of die clashing in the fields, but few other disturbances on
the surfaces of this important, high grade coin.From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: P5)
