1850 Half Dime, MS67
Only One Example Finer

1850 H10C MS67 PCGS. CAC. V-3. This attractively toned Superb Gem features rich golden hues at the obverse rim, converging to blue-green and lighter rose at the center. The reverse is a more even gray with forest-green at the periphery, and the luster booms through the toning on both sides.

Variety: V-3. The 1 in the date touches the base, while the other digits show separation. A reverse die scratch extends from the left side of wreath to the rim, between D of UNITED and the first S of STATES.

Population Data (8/15): PCGS reports 10 submissions in MS67 (two MS67+) and one MS68 finer. NGC accounts for seven in MS67 and none finer.

Heritage Commentary: Examples such as the present coin are the essence of the Gardner Collection -- superbly detailed, originally toned, and pleasing from the first glance.

Consignor Commentary: With 17 coins graded MS67 and one higher at MS68 this is not the most challenging coin, but it would be difficult to find one with toning as lovely as this piece.

Provenance: Purchased from Joseph O'Connor (2/2004).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 233F, PCGS# 4345, Greysheet# 3775)

Weight: 1.34 grams
