Lot Description

1794 Logan McCloskey-3. Valentine-3. Rarity-4. AU-58 (NGC). Medium silver gray centers give way to deeper golden gray and steel blue at the rims. A choice example of Flowing Hair half dime coinage from the first of just two years of the design type. A lovely coin overall, free of detracting marks and choice where visual impact is concerned. One of 7,756 half dimes (face value: $387.80) struck featuring designer-engraver Robert Scot’s famous Flowing Hair design, and a type that is always in demand in all grades. Choice AU specimens such as this are high atop many want lists.
