Lustrous white surfaces and a sharp strike with minimal marks.

Satiny white luster and a sharp strike, with just minor marks, but nothing of significance that distracts from this coin’s excellent eye appeal. Early ‘O’ Mint halves are hard to find with this kind of flash!

Remainder. Windham County Bank. A central vignette features three allegorical females next to a bust of George Washington. Four large denomination counters flank the right and left sides. Great black and red ink flows across premium white paper. Super eye appeal!

Chemical Bank. A bright proof with deep black inking. Vignettes include the state comptroller’s die at left, three dogs chasing startled birds at center, and two allegorical females shearing wheat at right. Printed on India paper mounted to cardstock, this example displays six typical POC’s across the signature lines.

Remainder. Iron Bank. Very well centered with attractive orange and black color and bright original paper. Vignettes include  larger portraits of Washington and John Marshall as well as small portraits of Adams and Jackson bisected by anchors.

Farmer’s Bank of Washington Co.. Vignettes include an allegorical woman representing Agriculture gazing at a distant factory at top left, and the State Bank Department die at bottom left. An oval vignette of a young girl shading her eyes is at bottom right. Printed on India paper with 4 typical POC’s along the signature lines. […]

Well struck with light wear on the high points of the design.

CAC.  Bright, original silver surfaces exhibit pleasing mostly white luster with light, natural toning. Liberty is well defined with crisp stars and shield detail, while the reverse wreath and lettering are sharp and balanced. An attractive Mint State example of this scarce branch-mint half dime. Old green label holder.  

A pleasing mid-grade example of this scarce date with strong, even silver-gray surfaces and solid detail for the grade. Liberty’s gown folds, shield lines, and star points remain clearly defined, while the reverse eagle shows crisp feathers and a bold mintmark.
