Description
1860 Transitional Half Dime, MS67+
'Coin Without a Country'
1860 H10C Transitional, Judd-267, Pollock-315, R.4, MS67+
CACG. Anthony C. Paquet is credited with the curious and
short-lived hollow-stars obverse subtype associated with 1859
regular half dimes and the 1859 and 1860 Transitional half dimes.
The Transitional varieties are "coins without a country," since
they pair the obverse of 1859 with the reverse of 1861, and neither
side bears the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Though technically
patterns, they have long been collected as part of the Seated half
dime series. The 1859 was struck in proof format and is a
formidable rarity. The 1860 was made as a business strike with an
estimated mintage of 100 pieces. This is a lustrous Superb Gem
bathed in vivid autumn-brown, plum-red, ocean-blue, and butter-gold
patina. The strike shows incompleteness, but the surfaces appear
essentially pristine.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2346, PCGS# 4373, Greysheet# 3787)
