Description
Glorious Superb Gem 1859 Half Dime
1859 H10C MS67 ★ NGC. An absolutely stunning Superb Gem with fully brilliant silver surfaces on each side. The fields are reflective with lustrous devices creating a nice cameo appearance. The obverse has sharp details while some weakness is visible at the upper left part of the wreath on the reverse. Both sides have diagonal striations in the same relative direction, a result of planchet production. The surfaces on each side are essentially flawless.The 1859 half dimes were produced with a slight design modification that was created by Anthony Paquet, famous for his double eagle that is offered in this sale. The arms of Liberty are slender in relation to Gobrecht's version. Each star on the obverse has a hollow center, rather than the raised center of earlier issues. Many consider this to be a distinct one year type coin. Census: 1 in 67 ★ , 4 finer (7/06).(Registry values: N2998)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 233W, PCGS# 4371, Greysheet# 3786)
