1792 USA 1/2 Disme - Replica

Found in an old job lot of coins.

Despite the fact that it has been traditionally listed in pattern references, it is believed that the 1792 Half Disme is the first regular issue coin struck according to the Mint act of 1792. However, there is some dispute regarding this statement, and some numismatic researchers still consider the 1792 Half Dismes to have been patterns for a later coinage.

DALLAS — A unique and historic 1792 Half Disme realized $1.41 million dollars on Jan. 10 as part of Heritage Auctions' U.S. Coin Florida United Numismatists (FUN) Signature® Auction in Orlando, FL. The price realized, which includes 17.5% Buyer's Premium, is a record for a Half Disme.

The coin, previously owned by Floyd Starr, is graded Specimen-67 PCGS. It was the lead lot of the Heritage rare coin auction at FUN, which realized more than $44.9 million, and is among the best of all surviving examples of the issue.

The mintage of these coins is variously estimated at 1,500 to 2,000 coins, based on documentary evidence left by Thomas Jefferson, though only an estimated 250 or so of them survive to this day, and none of them in better shape than the coin sold by Heritage Auctions on Jan. 10 in Orlando
