1800 H10C MS (PCGS#4264)

August 2011 Chicago ANA - Rarities Night

Lot Description: 1800 Draped Bust Half Dime. V-1, LM-1. Rarity-3. MS-64 (PCGS). Deep golden-gray with fiery orange highlights at the peripheries. A boldly struck specimen with essentially full and complete design motifs save for a touch of weakness in one of the reverse clouds. This piece was consigned to us from an old family holding, assembled in large part near the turn of the last century, so it is quite likely that this coin has never before been offered for sale. Blessed with absolutely original surfaces of a type that has certainly become scarcer in the marketplace, but has at the same time remained most desirable to knowledgeable collectors. If a high quality Draped Bust half dime is on your wish list, the present specimen will likely be found a most satisfying example. Choice and appealing at many levels, with only six examples graded finer by PCGS, counting all varieties.<br /> <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-419e1QqUeI" frameborder="0" width="560" height="349"></iframe>
