This is an old friend, having last sold in our September 2018 Regency Auction. The collector who bought it has changed directions and is re-offering this outstanding GEM 1795 half dime. One casual glace at the lustrous and beautifully toned surfaces, and you know it is one of the highest graded and clearly one of the FINEST KNOWN! Clearly it is a Condition Census LM-8. The wonderful toning is the first thing that catches your eye. A wealth of deep rose and teal-blue hues cover the centers, with accents of gold and silver near the rims. Satiny mint frost on the obverse, the reverse's luster has a distinctive reflective look. The devices are nicely struck with some of the eagle's breast feathers visible, which is not often the case on this issue. Even though the 1795 is the more common of this two year type, it is still exceptionally rare in such lofty grades. This MONSTER 1795 half dime's eye appeal is off the charts. PCGS 9, NGC 4, CAC 7. Realizing $76,375 in our September 2018 PCGS currently lists a price of $87,500 in the Collector's Universe Price Guide. There are five examples finer if you can believe it, 2 in 66+ and 3 in 67. The most recent MS67 to sell was the D. Brent Pogue coin that sold for a record $176,250. Certainly a great coin for any advanced type collection! It may be a while until another SUPERB 1795 half dime comes up for sale again! Cert. Number 36661224 PCGS # 004251
