1856 Seated Liberty Half Dime, MS68
Tied for Finest Certified, Ex: Gardner

1856 H10C MS68 PCGS. CAC. V-8. Ex: Bender Collection. Fantastic eye appeal on essentially mark-free surfaces is the hallmark of this stunning Superb Gem 1856 half dime. Cream-white interiors cede to peripheral cinnamon, medium blue, and amber-gold patina near the rims. Several different Valentine varieties constitute this mintage that exceeds 4.8 million pieces with minor variations of date placement, shape of the flag on the 5, and open/closed 6. While of interest to specialists, in such a high-grade level as this piece, those differences count for little. This piece is the sole finest certified at PCGS, with one coin graded at this level also by NGC (5/23).
