1797 Draped Bust Half Dime. LM-3. Rarity-5. 16 Stars. VF-30 (PCGS).;This is a pleasing mid grade example of the type with most devices boldly defined and some sharper detail remaining in the more recessed areas of the design. Otherwise light silver in appearance, a few speckles of rose-russet patina appear to drift toward the upper obverse border. Ideally suited for inclusion in a circulated type set or specialized collection of Draped Bust coinage.
