Few coins are as steeped in mystery, beauty, and history as the cent, half disme, disme, and quarter dollar issues of 1792. ...... Even by the strictest of standards, the half dismes are scarce, if not rare in terms of availability. From an original mintage of 1,500 pieces (per Thomas Jefferson's July 13, 1792 account book entry)
