Condition Census 1837 Small Date Half Dime, MS67

1837 H10C Small Date (Flat Top 1) MS67 NGC. This piece is one of the finest 1837 Half Dime examples available. It is distinguished as the Small Date variety by the flat top on the 1 in the date. The obverse is covered in soft luster mixed in with iridescent blue-gold tones. In contrast, the reverse is more of a uniform slate-gray, but with just enough hints of red and green to show character. The surfaces are free from surface marks to the extent that it might require a vivid imagination to determine a pedigree marker. A notable die break is visible at 5 o'clock on the obverse, indicating a late die state. PCGS has certified a single 1837 Seated Liberty Half dime finer than this piece, while NGC has certified two, one with the ★ designation (11/07). We believe that these three certification events may all represent the same coin, last publicly offered in a Superior auction in May 2001, and that the current lot may be tied with a very few others as the second finest known of the variety.(Registry values: P6)
