Description du lot

With silver coins still absent from commercial use in the East and Midwest during the final year of the Civil War, it is little wonder that the Philadelphia Mint produced just 13,000 circulation strike half dimes in 1865. This issue is understandably scarce in an absolute sense, and as a richly original Choice EF the coin offered here is rare from a market availability standpoint. The obverse is the more boldly toned of the two sides, although both offer bold detail for the grade and deliver strong eye appeal. The reverse is rotated approximately 30 degrees clockwise from normal coin alignment, a feature we have noted in other examples of this issue.
