That is one super 1792 Half Disme that Cardinal has.I remember very well Jimmy Hayes showing me his Half Disme ( Stack's 10-22-1985 lot 3 at a low $57,750 ) at the 1973 BRNA show at Birmingham. I prefer that one over all that I have seen during the last several decades.
I stand corrected. The Jimmy Hayes coin in Stack's 1985 was not the same coin that I saw in 1973. Mr. Hayes had upgraded ( that is hard to imagine ) in 1980 when he bought the Auction 1980 coin for $ 90,000.
Trial runs, patterns, fine lines...I guess we like to pigeonhole things by our nature as collectors, but I still feel that this coin is a trial and therefore a pattern. BTW nice coins there Cardinal...
Don' t ask a Brit to grade that half disme as it will likely come back "GEF" or good extra fine.
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.

I don't think Brits are that harsh. I would fully expect an astute Brit to grade it "FDC" for fleur de coin!

Somehow I recall the Mint could not open officially under government aegis until the Chief Coiner overcame some problems posting a bond for the weight and fineness of his production. The very first midnight minting session, albeit in broad daylight, and with the President supplying the silver and cheering them on....
