Bust Half Dimes

We recently acquired a very rare die marriage, the 1795 LM-2 (R7) in NGC VF-30 ex: Jules Reiver Collection.  We also have a nice 1795 and a low-grade 1796/5 Bust half dimes for sale.  We also have some nice Capped Bust half dimes for sale, including several R5's and R6's, plus an 1837 JR-3 in AU.  I believe that early and Capped Bust half dimes are a great value, as you can get a rare coin for much less than a coin of equal rarity in the Bust Quarters or Bust Halves series.  Wanted:  1796/5, 1802, and any R-6 or better varieties.

1795 Half Dime NGC VF-30 LM-2 R7 Jules Reiver Collection
A major rarity in a straight-graded holder from the legendary numismatist Jules Reiver. An attractive coin as well! R-7 half dimes are very rare, and if this coin were a Bust half dollar, it would probably be a 6-figure coin!
Price: $11,000
1795 Half Dime PCGS XF-45 LM-9 R4
An attractive coin with a hint of light blue around the left edge of the coin. Tough to find early half dimes in a graded holder. If someone 200 years ago sneezed on an early half dime, it probably got bent as a result.
Price: $6,750
1795 PCGS Gen. EF det.,
surfaces tooled. Was $2,000.

1796 LM-1 R3 ANACS Good details, clnd.
In my opinion, the cleaning is minimal. This is a very rare date in half dimes, way scarcer than the 1797. The reverse is quite a bit better than Good-4. Was $3,000.

1796/5 LM-2 R6 VG-8 very slight bend
A very rare coin, possibly rarer than the legendary 1802 half dime. I know what you're thinking - - I will wait until a nice mid-grade PCGS one shows up. Well, PCGS has certified one VF, and none below VF. So you might have a very long wait until that one coin shows up, and it is likely to cost way more than this coin. Was $3,950.
