- LM-1- the only die marriage for the Small 8 variety. This is a high end example of this RARE R-6 variety. Rarely ever offered in high grade, this freshly graded example ranks among the FINEST known examples. Indeed, PCGS has only graded two coins finer, including the D. Brent Pogue coin which is AU58 and a MS63 that has never sold in auction. Medium tan, olive, slate, gold, and russet tones are seen on both sides, with accents of original mint bloom that comes out when the coin is tilted in a light. Nicely struck up on both sides, there is only a touch of weakness on the lower reverse dentils. The obverse has a doubled profile and evidence of die clashing. We note only a few old scuffs that are mostly hidden by the pleasing original patina and they do not detract from the overall outstanding eye appeal of this fresh to the market rarity. PCGS 3, NGC 1. PCGS CoinFacts estimates about 30 examples survive in all grades, and is UNIQUE currently in Mint State. The Pogue AU58 that sold in May 2015 for $49,938 is also the NGC MS61 that sold for $86,250 in April 2009. Sharper than the other PCGS AU55 that sold in November 2016, this lovely AU55 will see spirited bidding from specialists when it crosses the block. This is the first time it is appearing in auction, after being discovered in a small grouping of coins in an old estate holding. If you are a serious collector of Early half dimes and need a high grade example of this VERY RARE Red Book variety, be sure to bid liberally to take home this prize! Good luck! Cert.
