CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 01/23/2026 11:30 am PCGS - Half Dismes are American icons. With the Mint still under construction in 1792, these coins were produced on a press in a saw maker's cellar. That makes this PCGS MS66 example one of the first U.S. coins ever. Five cents by denomination, worth about $800,000 today, per PCGS Price Guide. Check out 1792 Half Dismes on ebay Check out 1792 Half Dismes on ebay Report this Post to the Staff

TimNH Valued Member United States 416 Posts	Posted 01/23/2026 1:22 pm The Half Disme is my dream coin, as a type collector it is the 'biggie', the centerpiece of any type collection, the alpha and omega if you will. Every now and then a rough one comes thru the auctions and I perk up, like here is a mangled up thing that came up a few months ago and hammered at $24K, and I 'just can't', but maybe someday...
