1795 Flowing Hair Half Dime. LM-3. Rarity-5. AU Details--Cleaned (PCGS). Pretty steel-olive and cobalt blue peripheral toning adorns both sides, enhancing the appearance of this more affordable 1795 half dime. It is well struck for an early half dime with sharp to full detail to most design features. A touch of glossiness explains the PCGS qualifier, but this is still a pleasing example with much to offer the high grade type or variety collector. The 1795 Logan-McCloskey 3 die pairing is distinctive due to a bisecting crack through the letter R in LIBERTY, which no doubt prompted this obverse to be replaced. As a consequence, this variety is scarce in all grades. PCGS# 4251. NGC ID: 22ZV.
