Lot Description

1795 Flowing Hair Half Dime. LM-10. Rarity-3. MS-62 (PCGS). If you are building a type set of early American coins, this 1795 half dime will be an excellent possibility to illustrate the 1794-1795 Flowing Hair motif. Both sides display satiny luster and sharp devices. This is a later die state with a small edge cud from the top of (LIBER)TY and the ninth star where that piece of the die chipped off. The surfaces are attractive overall and there are light adjustment marks on the upper obverse edge where portions of the design did not strike up well. Liberty's head, neck and curls are all sharp, as is the eagle on the reverse. The coin is bright silver and somewhat reflective in the fields, with a dash of peripheral gold on both sides. PCGS# 4251.
