Description

1852-O Half Dime, MS65
Among the Finest Known

1852-O H10C MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. From a mintage of 260,000 pieces, but much scarcer than the production would indicate. As one might expect, antebellum New Orleans silver coins are quite scarce in Uncirculated grades, as most entered the channels of commerce and stayed there. Even the modest half dime had few high-grade survivors. This piece shows an extraordinary strike and is complemented by brightly reflective surfaces under vibrant tones of lilac and gold. The sharply detailed devices float on watery, prooflike fields and provide a distinct element of contrast. Population: 3 in 65, 1 finer. CAC: 2 in 65, 1 finer (1/23).
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 6/2008), lot 687; Dallas Signature (Heritage, 10/2008), lot 504; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2009), lot 849; Houston Signature (Heritage, 12/2009), lot 338.
