1858 Half Dime, MS68
Tied for the Finest at PCGS

1858 H10C MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson-Bender. An excellent type candidate, the 1858 has the fifth highest mintage of any half dime produced from 1792 to 1873. This issue is also well-known for its unusual varieties, although the present piece is struck from normal dies.

The three PCGS-certified MS68 examples of the 1858 half dime include the present piece, another that is presently held in the High Desert Collection, and one that was offered seven years ago as reported on PCGS CoinFacts. Both dies show prominent clash marks on this example that has no die cracks or signs of lapping. It is a well-made Superb Gem with frosty silver luster and light gold toning that congregates in the peripheral areas. Population: 3 in 68, 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 68, 0 finer (3/23).
Ex: Bob R. Simpson Collection.
