1801 Draped Bust Half Dime. LM-2. Rarity-4. Fine Details--Scratch (PCGS).The wider distance between the letters LIB in LIBERTY confirm the present example as having been struck from the LM-2 die marriage, the more plentiful variety of this issue. The 1801 half dime is almost always offered in the lowest circulated grades irrespective of attribution, and its conditionally challenging nature is often overlooked by collectors focused on the key date 1802. The offered Fine example retains more definition than most, and with rich steel and medium gray patina delivering strong eye appeal, it is sure to catch the eye of astute early half dime enthusiasts.PCGS# 4267. NGC ID: 2327.From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911.
