1852 Seated Liberty Half Dime, MS67+
Vivid Multicolor Toning

1852 H10C MS67+ PCGS. CAC. V-3a. Ex: Bender Collection. Despite the mintage slightly exceeding 1 million pieces, remember that the early-1850s silver coins were overweight in terms of their melt value compared to their face value -- a byproduct of the vast inflows of California gold into the national economy. The Arrows type of the following year would reduce the net silver content of minor coinage. This spectacular Superb Gem possesses terrific eye appeal to complement its high technical quality. The design elements are sharply detailed, and the lustrous surfaces are blanketed in shades of golden-brown and lavender toning. Gene Gardner recorded his first impression of this coin as, "What a strike." Sharp details are everywhere: full radials on all stars and full definition of Liberty's head and hair.
