Seated Half Dimes
1841-O H10C MS67 PCGS. CAC. V-4. A substantial mintage of 815,000 pieces was realized for the 1841-O half dime. Yet, as can be seen from the population data, few were set aside in high grades. Both Small and Medium O varieties are known, but a Large O is unsubstantiated. The reverse of this delightful Superb Gem shows several spindly die cracks that are consistent with this Valentine variety. The surfaces are brilliant and thickly frosted, rather than the often-seen satiny finish. Die rust is abundantly evident on each side. Die clashing is seen on each side also, as indicated in Blythe (1992). The strike details are strong throughout. Population: 2 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 67, 0 finer (1/17).
