Description

1858 Seated Half Dime, MS68
Among the Finest Survivors

1858 H10C MS68 NGC. V-4. Dappled tobacco-brown and forest-green toning enriches this lustrous and precisely struck Superb Gem, a pristine antebellum half dime that has somehow remained undisturbed for more than 150 years. A prize for either the type collector or the Seated specialist.

Variety: V-4. The tip of the shield points to the left of the 1 in the date, and the pendant is above the right side of the 5.

Population Data (5/14): NGC reports four in MS68 with none finer. PCGS shows its finest to be a sole MS68.

Heritage Commentary: This coin represents the final Philadelphia issue of this Stars Obverse subtype. In 1859 assistant engraver Anthony Paquet changed the obverse design, most noticeably on the stars, which have hollow centers. The portrait of Liberty was also modified. Those changes were set aside in 1860, when the Legend Obverse type was introduced.

Provenance: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5/2009), lot 391; Los Angeles Signature (Heritage, 8/2009), lot 425; Dallas Signature (Heritage, 10/2009), lot 319.(Registry values: N1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 233U, PCGS# 4367, Greysheet# 3784)

Weight: 1.24 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
