And yes, I wanted one of these coins for a long time when I was kid. Here is my 1794, which is variety LM-3. This is second 1794 I have owned. I sold another one, which an LM-4 when I got this one as an upgrade. The previous one was an ANACS EF-45. All 1794 half dimes were made in 1795. We know that because an early die state of the 1794 reverses was used on a 1795 half dime before it was used on the 1794.
