Auction 414 | Lot 5115 » Half Dimes » Seated Half Dimes
1850 H10C MS68★ NGC. Beginning in the earlier decades of the 19th century, silver and gold prices rose to levels that were higher than the intrinsic value of the bullion in the coins produced. As a result there was widespread melting of U.S. coins, culminating in extensive debate in Congress prior to passage of the Mint Act of 1853. This act reduced the amount of gold or silver in coins to levels that reduced the incentive to melt coins. This 1850 half dime was produced during this earlier period when it was still profitable to melt U.S. coins, and predictably such pieces are rarely encountered. Even so, a few hundred pieces have managed to survive in the various Uncirculated levels. According to the two major grading services, however, none can compare to the superlative example offered here. Its heavily striated surfaces are virtually untoned, giving the coin an essentially as-struck appearance. Memorable quality for this or any other Stars Obverse half dime. Census: 1 in 68★ , 0 finer (6/06). (PCGS# 4345)

1850 H10C MS68★ NGC. The 1850 Half Dime was produced in an era when escalating silver prices sent many Seated Liberty coins to the melting pots of bullion dealers. As such, this issue is more difficult to locate in high grade than the mintage figure of 955,000 coins might suggest. Even so, a few hundred pieces have managed to survive in the various Uncirculated levels. According to the two major grading services, however, none can compare to the superlative example offered here. Its heavily striated surfaces are virtually untoned, giving the coin an essentially as struck appearance. Memorable quality for this or any other Stars Obverse Half Dime issue. Population: 1 in 68, 0 finer (12/04). (PCGS# 4345)

1850 H10C MS 65. One of the more available silver issues from the early 1850s, this lovely gem half dime represents a significant opportunity for the advanced type collector. A moderately frosty example, the surfaces are clean and boldly struck on each focal point. While the reverse is brilliant, the obverse carries mottled russet and charcoal toning that frames the devices as well as the denticles. With unsurpassable originality and careful preservation, this coin challenges the numerous collectors who feel that the diminutive size of this denomination precludes its full artistic appreciation.

As such, this issue is much more difficult to locate in high grade than the mintage figure of 955,000 coins might suggest. This is an original Gem with frosty, silver-gray features and mottled orange-tan peripheral toning on the obverse. The strike is free of criticism, as are the pristine surfaces. An important bidding opportunity for the better-date type collector. (PCGS# 4345)

NGC 1850 MS 66. V-5. The date is low with no digits touching the base. Valentine says "compass point shows" on this variety. If so, it must be tiny because all we see is a minute raised dot that one could imagine looked like a belly button on Liberty...but we digress. The surfaces scintillate with deep shadings of blue and maroon that cover both sides of this frosted, lustrous type coin. Population: 2 in 66, 2 finer (4/94). (PCGS# 4345)
