Description du lot

Premium Gem 1835 LM-7 Half Dime Surprise Condition Rarity 1835 Capped Bust Half Dime. LM-7. Rarity-3. Large Date, Large 5 C. MS-66 (PCGS). This charming example will appeal to both the Gem type collector and the advanced half dime specialist. Lovely pale silver and gold iridescence blends with satin luster and attractive surfaces to offer great eye appeal. Boldly, if not sharply struck, and expertly preserved overall. Although not a rare die marriage in an absolute sense, the 1835 LM-7 is described as "difficult to obtain" in high grades in the 1998 book Federal Half Dimes: 1792-1837by Russell J. Logan and John W. McCloskey. The authors call out the MS-65 offered as lot 122 in our (Bowers and Merena's) January 1990 Gore and Long Collections sale as a significant example of the variety. Certified MS-66 by PCGS, the present example is an undeniable condition rarity that clearly ranks among the finest known survivors from the 1835 LM-7 dies. Provenance: From the George Schwenk Collection. PCGS Population (all die pairings of the Large Date, Large 5 C. variety): 26; 5 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 4282. NGC ID: 232H.
