Lot Description

1862 Liberty Seated Half Dime. MS-67+ (PCGS). A beautiful and prooflike jewel with moderately reflective obverse fields. Overall untoned and brilliant, the surfaces remain smooth to inspection and free from friction. The 1862 is the final Liberty Seated half dime produced before 1871 with a circulation strike mintage of more than 1 million coins, and it is among the more readily obtainable of the Legend Obverse design. However, this availability becomes severely compromised at the Superb Gem level, and the present piece is among the most pristine survivors from this issue. PCGS has certified just 12 examples at the MS-67+ level and only 4 grade finer at MS-68. PCGS Population: 12; just 4 finer in MS-68. PCGS# 4381. NGC ID: 234B.
