Description

1873 Seated Half Dime, MS67+
Sole Finest Example at PCGS
Final-Year Type Coin

1873 H10C MS67+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. Half dime coinage was suspended in 1873, yielding to the more popular nickel-based five cent piece that had been introduced in 1866. The final-year half dime issue is scarcer than many of its immediately preceding dates, and examples are rare at the Superb Gem level. This CAC-endorsed coin is the sole finest example certified at PCGS, by the margin of the Plus designation. Frosty luster and pristine surfaces adorn well-defined motifs. The obverse displays a pleasing ocean-blue hue, while the reverse is gold, lavender, and powder-blue. Population: 3 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 67, 0 finer (5/23).(Registry values: N2998)
From The Bender Family Collection, Part V.
