1805 H10C AU58 PCGS V-1, LM-1, R.4, the only known die pairing. The 1805 is the final issue in the Draped Bust half dime series, and it is also the final U.S. half dime delivered prior to 1829. Survivors from this 15,600-piece issue are typically offered no finer than XF, a fact that speaks volumes about the importance of this near-Mint State representative. The balance of the features possess suitably bold definition for a lightly circulated silver coin of this type, however, minor softness is detected on the stars on the right side of the obverse. The surfaces are predominantly deep gunmetal-blue-gray in tone, but there is some subtle light silver-gray at the centers. There are no outwardly distracting abrasions--an uncommon feature for an early half dime that saw actual circulation--and the surfaces actually present as quite smooth in most areas. An important condition rarity for the specialized collector. (PCGS 4272)
