1801 Draped Bust Half Dime. LM-2. Rarity-4. Fine-15 (PCGS).Warm pewter gray patina to the reverse, the obverse is more boldly toned in mottled charcoal and deep rose. Direct lighting also calls forth iridescent powder blue highlights that are largely confined to the peripheries. Well defined for the grade with all major design elements fully appreciable, this is a desirable circulated type candidate from the scarce and challenging Draped Bust half dime series.
