Lot 1402
1795 LM-10, R-3. PCGS graded AU-50. Nice blue and gold toning. The surfaces show a few small marks when closely examined, as one would expect even after limited circulation. This is a plentiful die pairing and a good many examples have the die cud that formed to the tops of the TY and ninth star to the rim above. Most of these early half dimes circulated hard and long, and this series remains one of the most challenging to find wholesome coins to represent this issue. So many of these tiny coins were damaged or bent from the original mintage that collectors have to look long and hard to find one that is acceptable. This example is quite outstanding and will certainly please any numismatist. Only 1,750 examples are estimated to have survived (PCGS # 4251) .
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.
