Description

1843 Seated Half Dime, MS67
V-4, Late-State Reverse
Finest Certified at NGC

1843 H10C MS67 NGC. V-4. This sharply detailed Superb Gem offers vibrant mint luster under shades of golden-brown, violet, and amber toning. This piece was struck from a fascinating late state of the reverse die, showing wedge-shaped pieces apparently ready to fall out.

Variety: V-4.

Population Data (5/14): NGC shows this to be the sole finest at MS67. PCGS shows three MS67 and two MS67+.

Heritage Commentary: A large mintage of more than 1.1 million Seated Liberty half dimes was accomplished at the Philadelphia Mint in 1843, but the issue is conditionally very rare at the MS67 level, and numerically finer examples are unknown.

Consignor Commentary: The 8 4 numerals in the date are close together, and the reverse die has all but disintegrated. A pie-shaped die crack starts at the second T in STATES and also at the first A in AMERICA. These two meet at the M in DIME and then proceed down through the bowknot to the rim at 6 o'clock. Somewhat aggressively graded as there is a mark on Liberty's left arm and another on her stomach. The reverse is colorfully toned, but the coin does not have strong eye appeal as it is not a good complement with the obverse.

Provenance: Purchased from Jason Carter (1/2010). (Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2334, PCGS# 4332, Greysheet# 3767)

Weight: 1.34 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
