Description
1859 Half Dime, PR66 Ultra Cameo
Hollow Stars Subtype
1859 H10C PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. There are only two
reasonably collectible proof half dimes from the 1850s, and this
date is sometimes considered a separate type issue. Thus the two
collectible dates of the decade, 1858 and 1859, are each separate
design types. The 1859 half dimes have hollow centers to each star,
a slimmed down Liberty especially noted in her arm, and other very
minor design modifications. This modified Liberty Seated design was
engraved by Anthony C. Paquet, an assistant to James Longacre in
the engraving department. Less than 800 Proofs were produced, and
they are only infrequently encountered in Gem Quality. This
impressive Premium Gem is deeply mirrored with frosty silver luster
on the devices, creating sensational contrast on each side. A few
tiny lint marks are evident on the obverse. Census: 1 in 66 Ultra
