Description
Shining MS66 1857-O Half Dime
1857-O H10C MS66 NGC. Despite a mintage well into seven figures, this is a rarity in Gem quality as indicated by the population data. This example is a satiny Gem with almost prooflike fields and excellent aesthetic appeal. It is sharply struck with virtually full-white brilliance. An unexplained characteristic: the obverse has a raised, nearly vertical die line in the base of the rock, directly below the left edge of the shield. To some it appears almost as if it is a misplaced 1, with the serif hidden below the curved drapery of Liberty. Others may see it as a die scratch. It is doubtful that it is a die crack because it so straight. Census: 23 in 66, 4 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 233T, PCGS# 4366, GSID# 3821)
