Seated Half Dimes
1856 H10C MS68 PCGS. CAC. V-8. Fantastic eye appeal on essentially mark-free surfaces is the hallmark of this stunning Superb Gem 1856 half dime. Cream-white interiors cede to peripheral cinnamon, medium blue, and amber-gold patina near the rims. Several different Valentine varieties constitute this mintage exceeding 4.8 million pieces, minor variations of date placement, shape of the flag on the 5, and open/closed 6. While of interest to specialists, in such a high grade level as this piece, those differences count for little. This piece is the sole finest certified at PCGS, with one coin graded at this level also by NGC (11/16).
