Description

1800 V-1, LM-1 Half Dime, XF40
Moderately Toned

1800 H10C XF40 ANACS. V-1, LM-1, R.3. A sharply struck example of this scarce type, with wear confined to the design's highest points. Silver-gray and medium-gray toning betray slight olive accents near the borders. Other than a faint mark in the left obverse field, and another near the lower reverse periphery at 6:30, the surfaces are smooth and free of distractions.
