1835 H10C SM DT SM 5 AU53 PCGS CAC

LM-10. R.2 or R1. The 1835 Capped Bust Half Dime (Small Date, Small 5) is an underrated rarity with an estimated survival of just 400 examples in all grades! This Premium Gem stands out as an exceptional representative of the series - a superb Type Coin. Its stunning toning, bold strike, and pristine surfaces elevate it to an elite level, making it a highly desirable piece for discerning collectors. The obverse showcases champagne-apricot and olive-gold hues transitioning to powder blue with speckled antique silver highlights near the center, all complemented by frosty luster that enhances Liberty's portrait and the boldly struck stars. The reverse with peach-gold centers blends into apple-green and rose-red tones at the margins, creating a vibrant, balanced color spectrum. Frosty textures on the eagle and shield contrast beautifully with the semi-reflective fields. No relevant auction comps exist; however, we have sold similarly toned examples last year quickly for slightly more - 1833 H10C AU53 PCGS CAC and 1834 H10C AU53 PCGS CAC. Would'nt a toned Date Set all AU53 PCGS CAC for this Capped Bust Half Dime series be cool? We think so.
