- 1797 Draped Bust Half Dime. LM-1. Rarity-3. 15 Stars. VF-20 (NGC). Light gray patina on both sides with ample silver hues on the worn areas. Rare as a die pairing and type coin as so few of these survived at all. The surfaces are average with scattered light nicks. This example features an amazing full strike -- rarely are these early half dimes found with this much definition on both sides, as they are normally encountered with uneven strikes. When one of our early founders put together the famous Photograde reference for coin grading, James Ruddy recalled that this particular type issue, the Draped Bust, Small Eagle half dime, was virtually impossible to find wholesome. Most seen were damaged, bent or even worse. Therefore, finding a certified coin in a mid grade is quite the chore for most collectors of this type. PCGS# 38597.
