1838 NO DRAPERY HALF DIME.
STARS NO DRAPERY
Enlargement
297 1838. Stars, No Drapery. PCGS graded MS-68 PQ. A
frosty white gem. Beginning at the Philadelphia Mint in
1838 and continuing through November 1840, working dies
for the Seated Half Dime were sunk from the No Stars hub
of 1837. The 13 stars weren’t part of the hub and therefore
had to be hand-punched into the working dies around the
obverse border. This type with Liberty's portrait style of
1837 and 13 obverse stars is known as the "No Drapery.”
Production lasted only three calendar years. The first-year
1838, therefore, enjoys great collector demand, more so
than one might initially suspect for an issue that is among
the more available dates in the early Seated Half Dime
series. This traces to its use in Type Sets as the first year of
issue.
For the type collector who will accept nothing less than the
finest for his/her collection, we are proud to present this
utterly fantastic pure white Gem No Drapery Half Dime. The
obverse and reverse resonate their satiny glow across all
surfaces, reaching their brilliance into the deepest design
recesses. Full mint luster is seen throughout, and the strike
is pretty much razor-sharp. Blemish-free, this coin is among
the finest offered 1838 No Drapery Half Dimes of both vari-
eties known to the two major grading services. Pop 2; 1
finer in 68+. (PCGS # 4317 )
Estimated Value ............................................ $30,000-UP
