Description
1856 Half Dime, Stunning MS68
Sole Finest Certified
1856 H10C MS68 NGC. CAC. V-8. Fantastic eye appeal on

Superb Gem 1856 half dime. Cream-white interiors cede to peripheral
cinnamon, medium blue, and amber-gold patina near the rims.Variety: V-8.

Heritage Commentary: Several different Valentine varieties constitute this mintage exceeding 4.8 million pieces, minor variations of date placement, shape of the flag on the 5, and open/closed 6. In such a high grade level as this piece, those differences count for little.
Consignor Commentary: As we get on to the final dates in this series, the coins start to become more beautiful and of higher grade. The strong eye appeal speaks for itself.
