Lot Description

Superb Gem 1833 Half Dime MS-67 (PCGS) Just Two Finer 1833 Capped Bust Half Dime. LM-3.3. Rarity-2. MS-67 (PCGS). Rings of vibrant electric blue flood the borders of this Superb Gem, delivering captivating eye appeal when viewed from any angle and under any lighting. The centers are less intense but still painted in pretty pinkish-orange hues. Well struck for the type with uniformly satiny luster throughout. Inspection fails to reveal any abrasions of note. Dramatic clashmarks and a network of thin die cracks designate this as a late state of the LM-3 dies known as LM-3.3. It is likely the very finest known of this variety and is also among the finest known for the overall 1833 issue. Just two coins have been certified finer by PCGS across all varieties at MS-67+. An ideal coin for both the type collector and the specialist, surely destined for an accomplished PCGS Registry Set. Provenance: Ex Heritage's sale of August 2019, lot 3285. PCGS Population: 12; just 2 finer at MS-67+. PCGS# 4280. NGC ID: 232F. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
