- 1841 Liberty Seated Half Dime. V-4. Repunched Date. MS-66 (NGC).
Rich original surfaces are awash in dominant steel-gray toning. Direct lighting not only calls forth iridescent undertones of golden-apricot and olive-blue, but also allow ready appreciation of satiny mint luster. Fully struck with razor sharp detail from the rims to the centers. From a mintage of 1,150,000 coins, survivors are plentiful by early Liberty Seated half dime standards, yet conditionally rare in the finest Mint State grades, as here.
This variety, unknown to Valentine, was assigned the V-4 attribution after its discovery by Kamal Ahwash in 1974. The obverse exhibits repunching at the top of the digit 1 in the date that has created a small notch at the point of flag. The reverse has heavy lettering with bold clash marks at the letters ME in DIME and TES O in the legend, as well as a die crack from the lower right border into the right branch stem.
Provenance: From the Henry Collection of Liberty Seated Half Dimes.
NGC Census: 9; 6 finer (MS-67 finest).
PCGS# 4328. NGC ID: 232Y.
