Description

NGC 1860 Transitional MS 62. This famous half dime presents Anthony C. Paquet's 1859 Stars obverse with the new date of 1860, combined with the new 1860 reverse with the denomination in the center surrounded by a wreath, the same reverse design that was used until discontinuation of the denomination in 1873. The Paquet design has thinner arms and a larger head on Liberty as well as hollow-centered stars. The only other appearance of this obverse design was on the regular issue 1859 half dimes struck in Philadelphia. Since this obverse had stars, and the reverse a wreath and value only, the nation's name was omitted entirely on the 100 coins of this design created for insiders by Mint Director James Ross Snowden. It is also listed in Dr. Judd's pattern reference as #267.
This piece is better struck than most with good detail on the rock and almost complete definition on the upper left portion of the wreath. The diagnostic die scratch from the rock up to the denticles is present, of course. Lightly toned with gradually deepening color toward the rims. A rare and interesting half dime variant and a strong R.6 as an issue.
