1857-O Half Dime, MS68
The Sole Finest Certified

1857-O H10C MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson-Bender. Light clash marks and minor die cracks are evident on each side of this piece. New Orleans Mint half dime mintages beginning with the 1853-O Arrows issue were generally higher than earlier years. In 1857, 1.38 million of these coins were struck in New Orleans and many survive today. However, they don't survive like this one. A breathtaking Superb Gem, this example from the Simpson and Bender Collections is the finest known 1857-O half dime. Both sides exhibit brilliant satin luster, the obverse is slightly reflective, and the surfaces present delicate violet and gold toning. Population: 1 in 68, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 68, 0 finer (3/23).
Ex: Bob R. Simpson Collection.
