- FROM THE BRUCE MORELAN COLLECTION A marvelous, high end GEM from the Oliver Jung Collection. More recently, Bruce bought this AMAZING quality 1797 half dime from our June 2019 Regency Auction, where it was described as: "An exquisite GEM LM-2! There are not enough adjectives to properly convey the SUPERB qualities of this GEM 1797 half dime. To think a coin like this could survive in such PRISTINE condition boggles the mind! Obverse dies were prepared with 13, 15, and 16 stars. Sharply struck on both sides, this pleasing GEM has a strong luster that comes out with a brilliant vibrance that glows in the light and underlies a sumptuous, original patination. Golds, blues, and greens blend over pearly-silver surfaces. The design elements are very sharp overall with only some minor and typical weakness in the central devices of the eagle. Struck from clashed dies, parts of the reverse wreath can be seen in the field in front of Liberty's portrait. The eye appeal is exceptional and the quality is stunning!" PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. This is the only 65+ and there are just two graded finer at PCGS. Realizing $109,250 in the July 2004 ANR sale of the Oliver Jung type set, and $105,750 in our June 2019 Regency Auction, this immaculate GEM is worthy of the FINEST of half dime or type collections! What a stunning quality coin that will be hotly contested by bidders when it crosses the block! Cert. Number 21817895 PCGS # 4259.00
