-P6gKbzbiKUEAAAFLqoKgLg4o.jpg "1/2 Dime / 5 Cent USA (1776 - ) Silver")
1794 Flowing Hair Half Dime. . LM-2, V2. NGC graded AU-55. Lovely rainbow toning on both sides well struck and lustrous. This is the second rarest variety of the year, and it was struck second in the LM-1 to LM-4 sequence. On the obverse, star 2 points between curls 3 and 4 while the reverse has a double leaf below the final S in STATES, confirming the identity of the variety. A short die crack from a dentil into the field between A and M is about the same as found in later die states of LM-1 which shares this reverse. Pop 5; 58 finer. The Flowing Hair half dimes of 1794-95 were designed by Robert Scot, the chief engraver of the Mint. His design was different than that found on Birch's 1792 half dismes (the spelling of "disme" would gradually evolve to "dime." On the 1792 coins, the denomination is spelled HALF DISME). Scot's design features a head of Liberty facing to the right with distinctive flowing hair. Fifteen stars, arranged 8x7, surround the head with the date below and the word LIBERTY above. On the reverse, an eagle stands amid an olive branch with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around it. There is no indication of this coin's value on either side, nor would there be until the Capped Bust design was adopted in 1829. Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000. Categories:
