1800 Draped Bust Half Dime. LM-1, V-1. Rarity-3. VF-25 (PCGS). CAC.
This may be the most frequently encountered die marriage of the 1800-dated half dime issue, but pleasing circulated survivors of the Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle type as a whole are nowhere near numerous enough to satisfy numismatic demand. This fleeting opportunity for a CAC-approved VF example should not be overlooked. The coin is warmly and originally toned in pewter and dove gray shades that reveal traces of cobalt blue and pale pink undertones when viewed at direct lighting angles. The surfaces are remarkably smooth and well preserved for having seen this extensive circulation.
PCGS# 4264. NGC ID: 2326.
From the Richard August Collection.

Estimate: $3500
