1860 Transitional Half Dime, Toned MS67
Among the Finest Known

1860 H10C Transitional, Judd-267, Pollock-315, R.4, MS67 NGC. Not actually a pattern, but since it was issued these so-called transitional half dimes have been considered along with patterns, but have been collected in the larger sense with other Seated half dimes. These pieces were created by Mint Director James Ross Snowden as "trade bait" for coins lacking from the Mint Collection. Actually, Snowden ordered them made, it was Anthony Paquet who actually created them. The With Stars obverse was carried over from 1859 and paired with the reverse of 1860. The diagnostic die scratch is easily seen angling upward from the left base of the rock on the obverse. The bright, lustrous surfaces display deep blue toning over most of each side that is encircled by a thin ring of bright crimson around the margins. Extraordinary quality. Census: 4 in 67 (1 in 67+), 1 finer (4/18).
