1803 LM-3 Large 8 Draped Bust Half Dime, PCGS AG3, tough date DavidKahnRareCoins

Description

1803 LM.3 Large 8 Draped Bust half dime, PCGS AG3.  A very scarce date with an original mintage of only 37,850 coins - not many of which still exist.  This example isn't going to win any beauty contests, but it does have a solid level of detail, and is free of significant gouges, scrapes, scratches and/or bends.  There are some ancient contact marks for sure, but the coin has more than enough detail remaining to easily (and correctly) attribute it.  This is a great coin for a collector who appreciates the rarity of this issue and doesn't mind a great value as well, since this coin is likely to be very affordable...but that is entirely up to you!
There is a new book on this series you should be aware of, and we can supply you with a copy.  Serious collector and researcher Robert Powers has recently published "US Half Dimes, 1792-1837, Variety Identification Guide".  Powers' work is not intended to take the place of Logan & McCloskey, but is a very useful and informative adjunct to that book.  Various shortcuts, tips and a bit of a different way of looking at attribution is what Powers does best, and we find further information - in any form - to be both interesting and helpful.  See our other ebay listings, or our website to order yours today!
