1837 H10C Small 5C MS65 NGC. V-2, LM-4, R.3. The lone Small Denomination variety for the year, the LM-4 merits its own Guide Book entry, increasing the already considerable demand for this scarce and desirable issue. The present Gem, one of just three certified by NGC with none finer (3/09), is an immensely lustrous and carefully preserved beauty with sharp central detail. The obverse offers dappled peach and powder-blue toning, the former dominant in the center, while the reverse has similar colors with the peach closer to lemon-gold. An important and attractive representative of this final-year Capped Bust half dime variety.
