Description

1865 Half Dime, MS67
Tied for Finest Known

1865 H10C MS67 NGC. CAC. V-1. The upper portion of Liberty is brilliant and contrasts nicely with the ice-blue toning covering much the obverse. The reverse exhibits a wine center surrounded by a thick band of blue. The overall effect is stunning, and the CAC approval attests to the aesthetic appeal of this Superb Gem.

Variety: Valentine describes a single variety, V-1. The 1 and the 8 in the date are recut, and the ribbon ends are clear of the wreath.

Population Data (9/15): NGC and PCGS report seven and two submitted in MS67, in that order, and none finer at either service. The CAC approval reduces those nine submissions down to four with the green bean.

Heritage Commentary: Although tied with a handful of others at the MS67 level, it is hard to imagine another as attractive as this example, which in addition boasts the Gene Gardner pedigree.

Consignor Commentary: With only one set of dies used to strike 13,000 coins for circulation, along with 500 proofs, all characteristics are identical. With so few strikes, almost all coins struck for circulation qualify as prooflike first strikes. The recut 1 and 8 on the date, and the doubling of the S in STATES are the same on both. NGC has come down on the side of this coin being Mint State. The coin is truly spectacular and the eye appeal magnificent.

Provenance: Boys Town and Mamiye Collections (Bowers & Merena, 3/1998), lot 516.(Registry values: N1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 234G, PCGS# 4386, Greysheet# 3793)
