Description

1869 Half Dime, PR67
Lovely Iridescent Toning

1869 H10C PR67 NGC. CAC. Rose-gray, violet, and sea-green iridescence colors the well-preserved surfaces of this Superb Gem proof half dime. The relief elements are lightly frosted and the fields are moderately reflective, but the rich toning inhibits bolder contrast. Nevertheless, this is a highly appealing example, housed in a former generation holder.

Population Data (3/15): NGC has encapsulated nine non-Cameo coins in PR67 (one PR67 ) with one PR68 finer, while PCGS reports two PR67 and none finer.

Heritage Commentary: Half dime production returned to pre-Civil War levels in 1869, with the Mint striking 208,000 coins for circulation. Proof production remained steady at 600 examples, the same as the previous year.

Provenance: Purchased from Aspen Park Rare Coins (11/2006).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2366, PCGS# 4452, Greysheet# 3939)
