1860 Transitional Half Dime, Richly Toned MS66
'Coin Without a Country'

1860 H10C Transitional MS66 PCGS. Judd-267, Pollock-315, R.4. This popular mule was created by combining the previous With Stars obverse with the new reverse of 1860. The result was a "Coin Without a Country" as there is no indication of the country of origin. Only 100 pieces were struck, all in business strike format. This piece shows more mint frost than the usually seen prooflike finish in the fields. The diagnostic die scratch from the base of the rock angles up toward the rim. Rich olive-green and rose toning covers each side. The strike is a bit irregular with certain areas on each side showing slight weakness. Al Blythe considered the Transitional half dime an R.6 issue.
