Description

1873 H10C PR68 Cameo PCGS. Ex: Simpson. This spectacular Superb Gem represents the final year of half dime production. While a respectable mintage of 600 proofs was struck early in the year (all of the Closed 3 logotype), many of those were either melted as unsold or perhaps distributed to coin dealers. It is thought no more than 50 to 60 proofs survive in Gem or finer grades. This is a richly frosted Cameo example, tied for the finest-certified with one other coin. Radiant multicolor toning graces the mirrored fields, with a full strike at the icy-white centers and throughout the wreath. Neither PCGS nor NGC has seen a finer example in Cameo or Deep Cameo. Population: 2 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (2/21).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 236A, PCGS# 84456, Greysheet# 3952)

Weight: 1.24 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
