Description
1850-O Half Dime, MS66
Only One Coin Finer
1850-O H10C MS66 PCGS. CAC. V-2. Antique-gray envelops this
half dime, with scattered shades of light russet at the lower
obverse and hints of powder-blue on the reverse. The surfaces are
unblemished, and the CAC approval attests to the overall eye
appeal.Variety: V-2. Large O, with an obverse defect between stars 10 and 11. The reverse exhibits light clashing.
Population Data (4/15): PCGS and NGC each report two in MS66 with one MS67 finer at PCGS, none at NGC.
Heritage Commentary: In lower grades the 1850-O is priced similarly to a common date half dime, but at the Uncirculated level, the situation rapidly changes. Populations enter the single digits and competition for the finest coins, such as a present example, becomes fierce.
Consignor Commentary: A much earlier strike with sharp details and no die cracks visible.
Provenance: Purchased from Joseph O'Connor (3/2003).(Registry values: N1)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 233G, PCGS# 4346, Greysheet# 3813)
Weight: 1.34 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
