Seated Half Dimes
1858 H10C MS67+ PCGS. CAC. Many examples of the 1858 half dime are heavily clashed; this piece is clashed on the reverse, but die lapping has effaced most of the clash marks on that side and all of them on the obverse. Faint parallel polishing lines remain in the fields. This high-end Superb Gem is well-struck on the Liberty figure but slightly weak on select high points of the wreath. No significant abrasions are seen. Population: 20 in 67 (2 in 67+), 3 finer. CAC: 9 in 67, 4 finer (11/16).
