Lot Description

1800 Draped Bust Half Dime. LM-1. Rarity-3. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC. A sharp and appealing deep golden gray specimen with bold design elements considering the lightly circulated grade. Lively lilac and gold iridescence comes into focus in a bright light source. Absolutely mark-free to the unassisted eye with marks under low magnification of no significance in the scheme of things. Diagnostic rim cud below the two ciphers in the date, eagle's beak firmly attached to adjacent star. The successful bidder on this lot may rest assured that his or her bid provided for one of the nicest examples of the date and denomination available at the assigned grade. This attractive coin will be a welcomed addition to any early half dime collection or type set currently being formed.
