1870 H10C MS (PCGS#4396)

December 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1870 Liberty Seated Half Dime. V-1. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC. Gorgeous iridescent toning in copper-apricot and powder blue engages the peripheries on both sides of this otherwise brilliant, frosty example. Silky smooth surfaces border on pristine, the design elements sharply to fully rendered. Plentiful in an absolute sense thanks in part to a generous mintage of 535,000 circulation strikes, the 1870 is a popular candidate to represent the Legend Obverse type. A quick glance at the certified population data, however, confirms that survivors are anything but common in the finest Mint State grades. Even at the MS-65 level this issue is scarce, and anything finer is rare. This simply gorgeous Superb Gem is certainly among the most attractive survivors, as well as one of the most technically superior, and it is sure to sell for a very strong bid. The 1870 Valentine-1 obverse features a high, open date with the shield point between the left upright and tip of the flag of the digit 1, the pendant just barely right of center of the digit 7. On the reverse, the left ribbon end touches and the right ribbon is free of the wreath. Provenance: From the Henry Collection of Liberty Seated Half Dimes. PCGS Population: 4; 5 finer (MS-68 finest).
