Proof Seated Half Dimes
1857 H10C PR66 NGC. Probably only 55 or so proofs exist of this date. This is a splendid Premium Gem that exhibits light gold, blue, and iridescent toning on both sides that partially subdues the mirrored fields and lustrous devices. Slight field-to-device contrast is evident, although the toning prevents a Cameo designation. Census: 8 in 66, 1 finer (7/17).
