Description
1841 Seated Liberty Half Dime, PR63 Cameo
Single Finest Certified Cameo Example
1841 H10C PR63 Cameo NGC. A small mintage of proof Seated
Liberty half dimes was accomplished in 1841, as evidenced by the
7-10 specimens that survive today in all grades and conditions. As
David Akers wrote in his catalog of the John Jay Pittman
Collection:"The Proof silver coins of 1841 are all extremely rare, indeed, among the rarest of the entire decade. Unlike the silver dollar and the two copper denominations, which were all struck in additional quantities, the Proof Half Dime was struck only for inclusion in the year's Proof sets, which probably numbered about 10. No more than 5-6 Proof 1841 Half dimes are known today. Eliasberg, Norweb, Garrett, and Starr, all great collections, failed to have a Proof of this issue."
The present coin is a spectacular Select example, with sharply detailed design elements that display a rich coat of mint frost and contrast boldly with the deeply mirrored fields. A few hints of pale gold toning add to the terrific eye appeal. This lot represents an important opportunity for the proof specialist, one that will not be repeated often. Census: 1 in 63 Cameo, 0 finer (4/14).(Registry values: P3)
