Lot Description

1795 Flowing Hair Half Dime. LM-8. Rarity-3. Honoring Guide Book Label. AU-55 (NGC). Pleasant steel gray and reddish-copper iridescence enlivens the peripheries of this otherwise light silver example. Well centered in strike with universally denticulated borders and plenty of bold striking detail remaining. Concentrations of adjustment marks at the upper right and lower left of Liberty's portrait are as made, and they are associated with softness of strike both in those areas and on the reverse at the eagle's left and right wings. Scarce and appealing Choice AU quality for the more realistic type issue in the brief and challenging Flowing Hair half dime series of 1794 to 1795. PCGS# 4251. NGC ID: 22ZV.
