1871 Half Dime, Untoned MS67
Sole Finest at PCGS

1871 H10C MS67 PCGS. V-1. Satin-lustered fields and frosty devices are untoned on this appealing Superb Gem 1871 half dime, a high-mintage issue of more than 1.8 million pieces from near the series' end. This well-struck coin exhibits no distractions of any sort.

Variety: V-1. Aside from the recutting of many letters in the obverse legend, the most interesting feature of this coin is the way the 7 in the date pushes right up and overlaps the serif of the final 1.

Population Data (7/14): This is the sole MS67 at PCGS, and none are finer. NGC reports two each in MS67 and MS68. CAC shows one each in MS67 (this piece) and MS68 with the green approval sticker.

Heritage Commentary: An available date in all grades. But this piece is the sole finest at PCGS, and with the CAC green bean as well, many type collectors will be eager to bid on this silver-white coin.

Consignor Commentary: A straightforward example, natural but untoned with clean fields.

Provenance: Purchased from Joseph O'Connor (12/2003).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 234V, PCGS# 4398, Greysheet# 3799)

Weight: 1.24 grams
