Starkly Contrasted 1871 Half Dime
PR67 Ultra Cameo
1871 H10C PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. The 1871 half dime had a
proof mintage of 960 pieces. Walter Breen, in his Complete
Encyclopedia, indicates that many of these, along with those
dated 1872 and 1873, were extensively melted in July 1873. Along
this vein, NGC and PCGS combined have certified fewer than 400 1871
proofs, many of which are resubmissions. More significantly,
relatively few of these are Cameo examples, particularly Deep or
Ultra Cameos. Indeed, only two coins meet the Ultra Cameo
criterion. The stunning example displays chalk-white frosty devices
and highly reflective fields and is untoned. Fully struck
throughout, the surfaces are devoid of mentionable marks. A few
tiny "pimples" of die rust are located in the upper obverse field.
