Rarity defined! Only 15 Proof half dimes were struck in 1844, of which perhaps as few as ten distinct pieces are known to survive today. This is a VERY pretty CHOICE Proof. Both sides maintain a bold, watery reflection that pops through a variegated antique blue and gold patina. Well struck devices stand out and the surfaces are generally clean and free of any truly distracting hairlines or marks. PCGS 2, NGC 0. The last time this coin sold was back in September 2012 and it brought $7,638. Today the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $9,000. The most recent PCGS coin to sell was a PR64 that sold in June 2015 for $16,450. These just seem way too cheap in light of their ABSOLUTE RARITY! Cert. Number 26146308 PCGS # 4420.00
