FROM THE BRUCE MORELAN COLLECTION Shhhh!! Don't tell anyone, but this coin happens to be one of this cataloger's (GC) favorite coins in the entire Morelan Collection! For the smallest silver issue from the time, this SUPERB GEM 1795 half dime has a HUGE look! Fully PROOFLIKE on both sides, is this coin a Specimen or Presentation piece? This coin has a marvelous, stunning look, which looks like a modern "Gallery Mint" restrike and not a 225 year old GEM from the earliest days of operations at the first Philadelphia mint. A near twin to the Eliasberg example which was catalogued as a "Unique Presentation Specimen." The LM-7, V-8 die marriage is a very tough Rarity-6 with perhaps 13-30 examples surviving in all grades. Razor sharp details, imparted by a precise strike from the screw press, are thickly frosted and stand out boldly in stark, cameo-like contrast to the bold, fully reflective Prooflike mirrored fields. As always seen, this GEM shows a distinct die crack that bisects the obverse. A few minor adjustment marks are seen on the reverse, as made by the mint and are mostly hidden among the eagle's feather details. A few other minor mint made "rolling marks" are seen at the lower portion of the reverse, again, bearing no impact on the grade or visual allure. A delicate blush of gold clings to the peripheries, giving this otherwise untoned jewel a truly gorgeous frame around both sides. The eye appeal is spectacular and this is a very special 1795 half dime worthy of the very FINEST of date or type sets. PCGS 11, NGC 4, CAC 6. Only two examples are graded MS66+ at PCGS and there are just three graded finer. This SUPERB GEM has been off the market since it sold in August 2006 as an NGC MS67* for $126,500. A PCGS MS66 sold in our December 2019 Regency Auction for $79,313 and the Pogue MS67 sold in May 2015 for $176,250. Today, the MS66+ Collectors Universe value is listed at $125,000. This AMAZING coin belongs in the FINEST of cabinets of 18th century type coins! Bidding will be fierce! Opportunities like this are very RARE and should not be taken lightly. Bid accordingly! Cert.
