Proof Seated Half Dimes
1859 H10C PR66 PCGS. CAC. Lavish aquamarine and rose-red colors cover this bold and flashy Premium Gem proof. The date shows no indication of repunching, unlike many proofs seen. An unheralded but significant one-year subtype, the stars have hollow centers, and Liberty has slimmer arms. This Paquet-engraved subtype was only struck during 1859 and on a few rare 'transitional' 1860 patterns; the Legend Obverse type introduced in 1860. Population: 11 in 66, 5 finer. CAC: 4 in 66, 5 finer (11/16).
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/2005), lot 841; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4-5/2009), lot 61.
