$1905 		No Drapery, Gem Original, Sooner Collection.. This GRFC Gem-rated half dime is a perfect example for the grade, with frosty luster and electric blue patina at the rims. Following a strong initial production of half dimes in 1839, the New Orleans Mint struck considerably fewer pieces in 1840, and examples in all grades are prized. V-4, with repunching in 840 and multiple die cracks above the legend. CAC has certified 26 coins total, including three pieces in AU53 and 10 examples finer. The CAC price guide value is $960 in AU53, and we would not be surprised to see a stronger price at auction. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.5 (2012-2013) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4322 December 1969
