NewP: 1837 "Large 5c" half dime

rhedden

This was a recent eBay purchase. I was pleased to get an example of this variety in completely original XF45, as advertised, and not the usual cleaned dreck. It has been a long time since I bought a Baby Bustie, and I hope you enjoyed seeing her blown up to the size of a football stadium scoreboard.

Just the right balance of crustiness and trace luster glow.

Love it.

Do you already have the small 5?

nice example of the LM-1 die marriage. The repunched 7 is usually the dead giveaway for that die marriage.

Looks like a nice original piece.

That is a lovely coin. I adore the way the dirt is retained around the star points on the obverse and within A2 on the reverse.

The LM1 is an interesting DM.

That's what they're SUPPOSED to look like (but rarely do).

Excellent coin.

IMO, of course, and thanks for sharing....>Mike

Yes, but it's not original. It did develop some nice color after 50 years in an old brown album, though.
