Description

1860 Seated Half Dime, PR67
Splendid Toning and Preservation

1860 H10C PR67 NGC. CAC. The surfaces of this Superb Gem proof feature an attractive blend of mint-green, rose, and violet hues. The toning limits the mirroring in the fields but does not inhibit the eye appeal. Housed in a prior generation holder.

Population Data (3/15): This PR67 example is tied with seven others (including one Cameo) for finest at NGC; there is one PR68 Cameo finer. There are an additional six PR67 submissions reported at PCGS, including two Cameos, and none finer.

Heritage Commentary: Proof mintages jumped to 1,000 coins in 1860 and remained there until 1861, after which point production totals dropped significantly. The reason for the increase was an expectation on the part of Mint officials that demand for proofs would continue to rise. However, collector demand was curbed in 1860 when a proofing charge was added to the face value of the sets. Many of the proofs initially struck went unsold and were later melted.

Provenance: Purchased from Legend Numismatics (4/2004).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 235V, PCGS# 4443, Greysheet# 3912)
