Description

1857 Seated Half Dime PR64 PCGS. V-3. This is an immensely popular proof issue because the Mint failed to record the original mintage. An aura of mystery surrounds such coins, leading to widespread speculation about the date's rarity. As for the proof 1857 half dime, there can be little doubt that the adjective "rare" applies. The present representative is carefully preserved with no postproduction impairments of note. The surfaces are golden and gray-tinged with sharp striking detail and a pleasingly reflective finish. Population: 15 in 64, 2 finer (3/10).
