1840 10C No Drapery, F-103, R.3, MS64 NGC. CAC. Heavy vertical die lines connecting Liberty's chin and shoulder earn this variety the "Chin Whiskers" nickname. Examples are moderately scarce, particularly in high grade. Lemon-yellow, pistachio-green, blue, and golden hues adorn each side. A few scattered abrasions do not detract.

1873-S H10C AU55 NGC. The 1873-S holds the distinction of being the final issue in the half dime series, which began in 1794. A total of 324,000 examples were struck at the California branch mint in 1873 -- less than half the number produced at Philadelphia. A cover of antique golden-gray patina adorns this Choice About Uncirculated representative, showing good detail with a trace of high-point rub. The corn kernels are strong and partial luster remains.
