Description

1859 Seated Liberty Half Dime, MS68
Tied for Finest at NGC

1859 H10C MS68 NGC. V-4. All four digits of the date are repunched, boldly on the 189, less obviously on the 5. This phenomenal specimen boasts brilliant silvery centers that complement the bands of peripheral rose and aqua toning on each side, with vibrant mint luster, a bold strike, and enormous eye appeal. While the 1859 is considered a common date, with a pre-Civil War mintage of 340,000 coins, this piece in extraordinary condition is tied with three other NGC-graded examples, and none are numerically finer (11/14). Superlative condition for the finest collection or Registry Set.
