<Our item number 115041><B>1794 Flowing Hair Half Dime. NGC graded AU-55 LM-3.</B> Attractive uniform lilac and steel grey and blue toning. Lustrous frosty golden antique colored surfaces provide a smooth foundation for the lighter highlights of the interior design. Nearly full hair on Liberty and head details comparable to the finest Mint States, but at only a fraction of the price to the bidder. A truly exquisite specimen among the few surviving numbers of a fashionable first year First Philadelphia Mint issue half dime. There are, for reference points, a few light lines on the portrait and a short open-S shaped lint line on the shoulder. The eagle, which is far more detailed than usual for this variety, has nice wing and tail feathers showing, plus a clear beak and eye. The reverse die cracks associated with this variety are extensive and so add to the coin&#39;s charm. A major offering for the collector of these early silver pieces. <B>Pop 1; 2 finer for the variety</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 4250&#41;</B>. <BR>< BR>The LM-3 variety is from the same obverse die as LM-2, but with only a single leaf below the final S in STATES. The obverse has a light die crack through star 6 and the hair to E of LIBERTY &#40;both plainly visible&#41;. The reverse has three die cracks that appear to unite at the eagle&#39;s tail feathers. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;8,500-9,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 115041<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/115041.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/115041N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
