Description

1872 Seated Half Dime, PR67
High-Quality Type Representative

1872 H10C PR67 PCGS. CAC. The obverse of this Superb Gem proof displays near-brilliant centers with violet and golden-orange peripheral toning, while teal-green, blue, and purple color dominate the reverse. Field-device contrast is slight, but the attractive toning more than compensates in terms of visual appeal. Signs of contact are invisible to the unaided eye.

Population Data (3/15): Among non-Cameos PCGS has seen only three PR67 representatives, while NGC reports seven in the same grade. There is just one finer non-Cameo coin between the two services, residing in an NGC holder. This is one of only two PR67 examples with the CAC green label.

Heritage Commentary: A relatively high mintage of 950 proofs, in addition to nearly 3 million circulation strike coins, makes the 1872 a sought-after issue among type specialists.

Provenance: Purchased from Joseph O'Connor (2/2004).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2369, PCGS# 4455, Greysheet# 3948)

Weight: 1.24 grams
