Splendid Gem 1868-S Half Dime, Late Die State

1868-S H10C MS65 NGC. Coinage dies were produced at the Philadelphia Mint for more than 200 years, a monopoly that ended only 1996, when the Denver Mint opened its own die shop. Coinage dies at the branch mints were often used until they shattered, as in the case of this splendid silver-gold Gem, which shows numerous die cracks and bulging on each side. Incredibly, it is one of two in the present sale in the same die state, prizes for the Seated Liberty die state specialists.(Registry values: N2998)
