1795 Flowing Hair Half Dime. LM-10. Rarity-3. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. Satiny golden-gray with distinctive olive and blue iridescence in a bright light source. The strike is typical with some central weakness, but nearly full wing details and a full head are noted on the eagle. An old mark bisecting the date goes largely unnoticed to the naked eye but serves as a convenient pedigree marker. From the second of two years in the Flowing Hair design type, though it is believed the 1794-dated coins were struck in early 1795. Coins that meet the expectations of the assigned grade are a pleasure to behold, and the present half dime is no exception to that rule. Choice and appealing, and worthy of premium bidding activity. From the Harrington Collection. Earlier ex our sale of the High Desert Collection, January 2013, lot 13148.
