3110: 1797 H10C 16 Stars, V-4, LM-2, R.4, XF45 NGC. LM
1797 H10C 16 Stars, V-4, LM-2, R.4, XF45 NGC. LM-2 is one of two 16 Stars varieties of the 1797 half dime. It is slightly scarcer than the other, LM-3, making it more popular as a type coin. This Choice XF example exhibits almost no obvious wear. The centers are poorly struck as usual, leaving Liberty's neck and hair curls and the eagle weakly defined, but the margins exhibit strong detail. Lilac-gray patina graces the satiny surfaces. Struck from heavily clashed dies. HID03101062020 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
