1849/6 H10C 9 Over Widely Placed 6 MS65 认证号34953009, PCGS号4342

The 1849 half dime varieties have long been a source of controversy for variety collectors due to their lack of clarity and difficulty seeing the under type below the relatively large 9 in the date. This variety is identified in the Cherrypickers' Guide as 1849 over 8, while PCGS, NGC, and the Red Book identify the variety as 1849 over 6. A charming gem example, well-struck and wonderfully preserved. Both sides feature a patina of golden-grey with pretty rose, violet, and blue-green highlights to the reverse. The 1849/6 Half Dime is a controversial variety. Some experts, such as the authors of the CherryPickers' Guide, believe the traditional 1849/6 variety (FS-302) is actually an 1849/8. Less convincing is FS-301, which is a tossup as to whether it is an 1849/8 or an 1849/6. Walter Breen confused the issue further by listing FS-301 as an 1849/8/6 and FS-302 as an 1849/48. Either way, there is a clear undertype on both varieties, and they are both very popular and highly collectible varieties.
